The recipe for this granola calls for dates, added after the granola has cooled. I don’t know, I just am not that crazy about dates. I had bought dates and thought I would add them anyway, just to see if I liked it, but instead I added dried wild blueberries instead. It’s good, but the honey almond granola is still our favorite.
