Comment on Can I replace honey with maple syrup?

Short answer, yes. Long answer, honey contains less liquid than maple syrup while being sweeter. This matters far more when baking than anything else so you should be fine in coating the granola with maple syrup instead of honey. That said, since it’s more liquid than honey, you may have to add something to stabilize it like a pinch of starch, though I’m not sure that’s truly necessary in this application.

Thanks. As for the liquidity thing, I actually mix the honey with oil and cocoa powder, making it liquid anyways. I think I’ll be fine if I put maybe a lil bit more cocoa than usual.
But if honey is sweeter than syrup, should I put in a little more syrup than the one dl to keep the taste?

You could, or add in some sugar. My experience with this kind of substitution is mostly in baking where volumes and ratios are far more important. In this application, it’s a little more loosey goosey, so I’d say try a 1:1 swap and if it’s not sweet enough, use more next time or toss a lil sugar on it.
