What makes homemade granola with honey so good
The secret to making great granola lies in the ingredients that you use. Granola is made from oats, nuts, honey, and other flavorings. The sweetness of the honey gives it its signature flavor. Honey is also a healthier option than sugar. Most people don’t realize it, but there are different kinds of honey. Each type of honey has a slightly different flavor and texture. The two most common types of honey are clover honey and wildflower honey. I recommend using locally sourced honey.
