Deluxe Honey Sweet Granola
Deluxe Honey Sweet Granola is full of sweet dried fruit, nuts, seeds, oatmeal then baked with a slightly sweet honey glaze.
When visiting my sister I was greeted to an overwhelming scrumptious smell as I walked into the kitchen for coffee and breakfast. She had just whipped up a batch of this Deluxe Honey Sweet Granola to serve on top of my yogurt and fruit plate.
I think what makes this granola outstanding and above your typical granola is the combination of good quality ingredients she used. Indulge yourself, choose whole cashews, and pecans. Petite diced apricots, slivered almonds and other dried fruit will make this granola one of your top sweet and good for you comfort breakfast foods for sure.
It is wonderful over vanilla yogurt, by the hand full or as a topping on ice cream. My favorite way to use it is to make a lettuce salad with diced apples, oranges, raspberries tossed with a raspberry vinaigrette and a healthy handful of this granola on top, just amazingly good.
This recipe can be switched up for whatever nuts or dried fruit you have in your pantry. I made a batch with just dried blueberries and it was delicious.
