Why Choose Honey for Your Granola?
Honey is a natural sweetener with added health benefits. Rich in antioxidants and boasting antimicrobial properties, honey offers a wholesome alternative to refined sugars. It pairs beautifully with oats and nuts, giving granola a subtle sweetness without overwhelming the natural flavors of the other ingredients. Choosing local, raw honey will maximize the benefits, as it contains beneficial enzymes and a touch of immune-boosting pollen.
