I found a recipe for granola which looks nice and easy but it calls for rice malt syrup which I don't have.. So what else can I use to sweeten granola?

    Or is it better to just omit the rice malt syrup and eat the granola with yoghurt and honey or something?

    You could use honey, or even maple syrup.

    When I have made granola before, I made granola bars and I mixed honey and brown sugar to help them stay together and to sweeten them.

    I use honey to make my granola and I have used maple syrup but prefer honey cheaper and stronger flavor.

    I've also used golden syrup I don't know it's US equivalent...

    Edited to add its like treacle, it tastes amazing.

    There are only a few places in the US that can get the yummy tasting Golden syrup. Amazon is one of them and I am not sure what the equvlent would be. I am not sure there is one really.

    My favorite homemade granola is sweetened with frozen apple juice.
