Maple-Walnut Granola

This IS my granola recipe, I just mix up the nuts/fruit combinations. The basic technique of dissolving the brown sugar into the maple syrup, allowing to cool and then whisking in egg whites gives me tasty, crunchy granola clusters every time. I do cut the brown sugar to 1/2 cup and skip the sprinkling over the oats altogether. The combo of cranberries, walnuts, maple and spices are delicious. I also like that this doesn't make an unmanagable amount for my family of 2, but doubles or even triples very well for gift giving.
