Honey Crystals--Honey Almond Granola

I've been cooking with the Honey Crystals for a while now.  It is really growing on me.  I love how easy and mess free it is to use.  I use honey the most in this recipe.  It is my most favorite granola recipe because it is delicious and super easy to make.  When I use honey powder in this recipe I just dump in the honey Crystals and the water (no messing around with combining them) and it works great.  

When I serve this at a party I put some freeze dried fruit on the top.
