    Hi Julie. Can you tell me if your recipe for Christmas Granola uses both the honey and the syrup, or is it one or the other?

    Thank you.

        Thanks Julie. I would think using both would make it too sweet, but I’ll try with just one first and then see how it goes. Thanks for replying back.

        Cheers
        Michelle
