Granola

….This delicious healthy granola recipe is naturally sweetened with maple syrup. It’s made with oats, olive oil, your favorite nuts and a special ingredient. It’s usually baked until it is crisp, toasted and golden brown. JOHN and I eat yogurt with granola once a day. Everyone knows that nuts are good for health so I try to eat more. I made it with reduced maple syrup from the original recipe, but it tastes great. If you like it sweet, you can add more maple syrup. It needs to be baked in the over 4 times. This recipe is from chef Comble.
