What it is

Honey granola is a breakfast cereal made from rolled oats, honey, and often nuts, seeds, and dried fruit. The oats are typically toasted with honey and oil to create a crunchy texture. It is a popular breakfast food and snack.

Why it's used

Honey is primarily used as a sweetener in honey granola, providing a distinct flavor and helping to bind the ingredients together. It contributes to the characteristic sweetness and helps create the clusters found in granola.

Health notes

Honey is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a natural sweetener composed mainly of sugars like fructose and glucose. While it contains small amounts of vitamins and minerals, it is primarily a source of calories. JECFA has evaluated honey and established specifications for its identity and quality.

Allergen info

Honey itself is not one of the 9 major allergens. However, granola often contains nuts, seeds, or wheat, which can be allergens. Check product labels for specific ingredients.
