Learning how to make sweet and spicy sriracha granola bars is almost as easy as making them. The sweetness of honey and the spice of sriracha brings a flavor explosion to these portable little power houses. Granola is possibly one of the tastiest health foods out there.

I love sweet and spicy foods. I’m always looking for ways to add a bit of heat to balance out the sweetness. It gives a pleasant surprise to the taste buds and gives you an Umami type of reaction. Whereas this recipe calls for only 1 tsp of sriracha, I have upped it to 1 tablespoon. After that, you are getting to be one of those people that overload the taste buds with a flavor at the expense of others. When it comes to cinnamon, I’m one of those people.
