Almond Honey Granola Recipe #377872
The advantage to using honey instead of sugar in granola is that you need significantly less. This is a good recipe as is, but please feel free to experiment with coconut, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, powdered milk or additional oil or honey for a richer taste. Ground granola makes a wonderful crumb crust for pies, too! From an old newspaper clipping.
