At first, I wasn’t so sure about the results of this granola. But, I’ve grown to enjoy it quite a bit. I recommend that you saturate it with a plant-based milk and add frozen or fresh berries. With a touch of agave on top. And then, it’s quite delicious and satisfying.
This granola wowed my whole family! The zest of the lemon and the cardamom were the highlights. I added dried cranberries. I'll probably do it with more honey next time though maybe double the amount.
