Meet your new granola, which has two-thirds less sugar than most store-bought varieties. We like it with a little extra kick, but knock the red pepper back for less heat. Stir into yogurt, sprinkle over fresh fruit, or toss into salads.

Super easy to make. I typically have all the ingredients on hand (a plus). Today I only had 1/4 cup of pecans so used 1/4 cup almonds to make up the 1/2 cup. Wonderful. Can't wait to try this in my yogurt tomorrow morning. Would be a great combo with some popcorn too. Definitely a keeper recipe.

We love the spicy taste of this nutty granola with yogurt and berries in the morning. Crunchy and a nice change from sweet granola. It's worth a try. Definitely a grown up cereal! I cooked it about 5 minutes longer.
