Honey Almond GranolaMikkel Vang

Theres nothing quite like making your own granola. You can toss in as many nuts and fruits as you want and sweeten it to your taste. While the possibilities are endless, we love this honey-sweetened variation with sesame seeds. The cardamom clings to the almonds, dried apricots and pears, and oats, adding an exotic touch.

Cooks note:

Granola keeps, frozen in an airtight container, up to 1 month.
