If you're in the US of A it's a regular fuckin' gauntlet to try to ensure your food purchases aren't loaded with corn syrup.

I buy corn syrup based pancake syrup to use for making granola, it works really well

    Meanwhile I'm bringing a bottle of real maple syrup to IHOP because I can't stand that fake Mrs. Butterworth's corn syrup slop.

    I love real maple syrup, would totally use that instead if I was rich.

    Depending on how the consistency turns out of course, I've never actually tried making granola with it because of the expense and how you need to use a lot

    I make my ”granola” without any syrup and it’s so much better.

    Do you use anything to get it to stick together? What's better about it? I've tried different combinations of ingredients but I like the kind that resembles what you might buy in a store better.

    I use a mixture of brown sugar and maple syrup that I heat up to dissolve the sugar, then add olive oil, mix with the oats, spread on baking sheets and bake on low temp for a long time until it’s crispy

    Brown sugar is just white sugar with molasses added. Turbando if you can afford it.

    It’s not sticking together so it resembles more a müsli than granola but I toast it in the oven so it resembles more a granola. It’s maybe neither but it’s better than what they sell at the store.
