Dear Katie,
I love the healthier alternatives on your show. I’ve been considering making some homemade granola. It seems that every recipe I’ve found has loads of brown sugar and honey in it. Would it be possible to use agave nectar in place of one or both of these, and in what proportions? Help!!! I want to have a healthier version of this!
