Original Recipe Yield 16 servings

Ingredients

* 1 cup chopped dates
* 1 cup water
* 8 cups rolled oats
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
* 1 cup raisins
* 1 cup wheat germ
* 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
* 1/2 cup slivered almonds
* 2 cups shredded coconut
* 1/4 cup vegetable oil
* 1/4 cup frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the dates and water. Cook stirring occasionally until the mixture forms a thick paste. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, walnuts, raisins, wheat germ, sunflower seeds, and coconut. Spread out in a thin layer onto a baking sheet. If your baking sheet is small, this can be done in batches.
3. Bake for 7 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly toasted. Transfer the mixture back into the bowl, and mix in the date paste, apple juice concentrate, and oil. Return to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until lightly browned. Granola will become more crispy as it cools. Store in an airtight container.

It doesn't seem possible -- sugar-free honey? This is the first time I've ever heard of it! But according to Indian news source, Nerve, bees are able to produce sugar-free herbal honey by feeding on the leaves of the Stevia plant. Stevia is marketed as natural sweetener, an alternative to sugar.

According to Nerve, sugar-free honey reduces cravings for sugar and fat, which appeals to people who don't want to gain weight but still want to enjoy the taste of honey. Additionally, sugar-free honey controls blood sugar levels and high blood pressure. Thus, it is in high demand by diabetics.

I wonder if it tastes weird then....Stevia is nasty...I'm afraid the honey would have that weird licorice-y after taste too
