I’ve made a lot of granola and Ina’s recipe on this site is legit. However this recipe has been on my list to try for a long time & today I made it.. omg! It’s delicious!! The molasses gives it a depth that other recipes don’t have. I used nuts I had on hand, sunflower, pepitas, sliced almonds and the walnuts and I only made a third of the actual recipe and it turned out great. I’ll be making this again, in fact it’s my new favorite hands down.
