Love this recipe. I'm always trying new stuff with it. Different dried fruits. This time subbed applesauce for oil. No need to heat it up since br sugar dissolved in applesauce. Came out yummy.

Very good, but I definitely would add more honey next time to make it stickier/clumpier. It is too flaky for me.

I first made this recipe because it called for things that I actually keep in the pantry, and have made it a couple times since. As written, it definately is more of a "fine" granola. After making it as written the first time, I increase the sugar and honey to 1/3 c. each and like it much better this way. It adds enough to give you some little clumps and makes it just a bit sweeter. Definately watch it closely while cooking. It browns fast!

I thought this worked out perfectly to put on my morning yogurt. I did replace the oil with Sunsweets Lighter Bake fruit puree, just because all I had was olive oil. It still cooked up nice and crunchy. Next time I will add a little more sugar, but that is a personal preference.

perfect recipe! I have made granola before and burned it, but this one is just right. I added about 1/4 cup flax seed meal and 1/4 cup chopped pecans to the oats, and I don't think I'll add the raisins this time. I stirred it about 3 times, cooking it at 300 (my oven is hot) for 15 minutes. I also stirred it quite a bit while cooling.

If you like your granola crumbly, this is for you! It was wonderful. I increased the Vanilla Extract to 1 Tablespoon and it just added to the wonderful taste of this recipe. If you like bar granola use the Granola III from this site, its fantastic, I also increased the Vanilla on that recipe to 1 Tablespoon and the Cinnamon to 1 heaping teaspoon. Both these recipes are great in their own different way! One crumbly and one bars! Yum

I just finished off a huge bowl of this GREAT granola! I wanted a nice, basic granola recipe without nuts, and this was just what I was looking for. It's delicious, better than store-bought, and made the kitchen smell fantastic while baking.

This granola is so good! I just made some to add to my homemade granola bars since I didn't have any trail mix. I made a few changes: 1)added walnuts and craisins, 2)used apple pie spice in place of cinnamon, 3)omitted the cocconut and vanilla (forgot about vanilla but I didn't miss it). It tasted so good I didn't want to add it to the granola bars! I'll definately be making this again.

Delicious....I made this morning and ate some over my yogurt for breakfast. I halved the recipe, but kept the same amounts of cinnamon and vanilla for flavor. I also used canola instead of veg oil. I added 1/4 c. of chopped pecans for crunch. I love it and love the coconut. Flavorful and easy. Thanks!

I love the flavor and how healthy it is. I just wish it clumped together a little bit. Perfect for yogurt, not so much for snacking out of the bag.

Awesome!!!! I added 1/3 cup extra of each : wheat germ, unprocessed wheat bran flakes, and nonfat powdered milk. I also added 1/2 cup slivered almonds and doubled the syrup. I did also use unsweetened coconut flakes ground fine in the food processor. It was delicious and my husband said it tastes like Post Granola cluster cereal!!!

This is delicious!!! I quadrupled the recipe so there would be a lot to eat with milk or sprinkled on top of yogurt and parfaits. I have made this recipe with the ingredients - as stated. I placed the sauce ingredients in a microwave safe bowl and microwaved it until all the ingredients combined smoothly. I poured it on top of the granola and baked it at a lower temperature than stated - at 300 so that the granola wouldn't burn. UPDATE - i made this for PASSOVER - but substituted matzo farfel for the oats. It is delicious and so addictive!
