Recipe Name Sonja's Spicy Chai Granola Submitted by lhouseal
Recipe Description Sonja's recipe includes cardamom which really gives this an Indian-style chai kick. Cardamom is really strong so I only add this spice occasionally. Delicious, not too sweet, healthy! Add dried fruits for additional nutrition and flavor.
