One of the advantages of making your own granola is in your ability to select the levels of sweetness and greasiness. This recipe for honey granola uses much smaller portions of honey than commercial ones, and is completely sugarless. No oil needed either! Feel free to substitute the listed ingredients with your favorite nuts or dried fruits.
