In reply to Laura H. Hi Laura! I haven't personally done it, but maple syrup should work just fine here. :)

Can I use maple syrup instead of honey? My family doesn’t like the flavor of honey. If so, how much?

Wow! This recipe came out great and is now THE recipe I use for making granola. I love the flavors of the cinnamon and vanilla that standout nicely and the clumps that you get when breaking it up after it cools. I followed the recipe as written with 2 additions. For the oil I used Coconut Oil and added 1 cup of Bob’s Red Mill Unsweetened Coconut Flakes and 1/2 cup of whole raw cashews.

In reply to Andrea. The egg white is essential for helping make this granola recipe crisp and helping it bind together into those gorgeous, munch-able clusters. So I'm not sure I would recommend omitting the egg white. :(

Could I leave out the egg white as I’m fasting. Also could I use honey as the only sweetener?

In reply to Valeria. Hi Valeria! I'm not sure I follow. The ingredients in the video are the same as written here. What odd flavor did it have? Was your oil bad?

I’m a bit confused because I first watched the YouTube video, but the ingredients shown there are different from the ones listed here. Also, I’m not sure if the fat quantity is correct, it has an odd flavor, even though I used canola oil.

absolutely incredible, easy to follow, easy to customize. I don’t know if I can go back to store bought granola after this recipe!

Since “Pumpkin Spice Season” is upon us I made mine pumpkin spice granola by substituting the cinnamon for pumpkin pie spice and the flax for crushed pumpkin seed kernels (pepitas). Also the whole almonds for sliced, as said this is a very versatile recipe. I love and appreciate all your recipes Sam! Keep up the great work!

I love this recipe. The proportions are really good and baking at a lower temperature means I can bake the dried fruit and nuts, along with the oats.

In reply to Brianne. Hi Brianne! I'm not sure how it would turn out. It could be worth experimenting with. I would probably reduce the honey a little bit. If you try it, please let me know how it turns out. :)

In reply to Laura S. Hi Laura! I am not familiar with using concentrated liquid stevia so I can't say for sure how it would turn out. Let me know how it goes if you do try it! :)

Hi Sam,

Do you have any suggestions for how to make this with a concentrated liquid stevia? Think it will have the same texture? Can’t wait to try this!

Could you omit the sugar all together and use honey alone?

In reply to Jen. Hi Jen! I haven't tried it to say exactly how to do it, but I think it could work. :)
