Can honey be substituted for the maple syrup?  Not a huge fan of maple.

I use honey all the time in my granola recipe. Turns out great!

Thank you so much, Lindsay.  That’s definitely good to know (regarding the honey).  I guess I should give the original recipe a try, since you say the maple flavor isn’t strong or overpowering, and make my determination from there.  It can’t hurt.  Thanks again! 🤗

Hi Shirlie! Honey burns at a lower temperature than maple syrup, as the ratio of fructose-glucose are different. This doesn't have a strong maple flavor so perhaps it's worth trying. If not, just watch the granola carefully.

Agree with Stephanie—that should work fine! Peanut-honey sounds so good, too.

Stephanie G. · Answer

Sure.  I think any liquid sweetener will work.
