Sassy, Sweet and Spicy Sriracha Granola Bars

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.
