CRANBERRY MAPLE WALNUT GRANOLA
I made this for holiday gifts and to have on hand for a healthier holiday snack, it is a nice way to lighten up granola using egg whites. I found the recipe in a recent 11/07 Bon Appetit Magazine and was pleasantly surprised to see the kids eating it by the handful:)

I have not tried this one yet. It comes from Bon Appétit November 2007. They have replaced egg whites for the usual butter or oil.
