Description
From the pages of my maple syrup cookbook, here’s a simple Maple Granola made with only a few pantry staples. The rich maple flavor shines through with just a few handfuls of nuts and dried fruit to augment it. It couldn’t be more easy to make, because it takes 5 minutes to stir together and get into the oven.
