Maple-Walnut Granola with Dried Cranberries
Maple-Walnut Granola with Dried Cranberries
Egg whites replace the usual oil or butter. This recipe makes a lot of granola, but that's just fine because there are so many things you can do with it. 1. For a breakfast parfait Layer thawed frozen berries, vanilla yogurt, and granola in a tall glass. Drizzle with honey. 2. As a topping for apple pie Instead of streusel, sprinkle granola over the apples during the last five minutes of the pie's baking time. 3. For trail mix Just add M&Ms or white-chocolate chips, and you're ready for a hike.
