This granola is great! This is the fifth time I've made it...and what I've done with it is add a little bit of sea salt and some walnuts or hazelnuts to it. I then break it up and store it in baggies and portion it out onto my yogurt in the morning.

This is fantastic! My son has nut allergies and it is difficult to find a granola recipe without them. I was out of coconut so I left that out but I added some flax seeds, seseme seeds and sunflower seeds which were a yummy addition. I have made this twice. The second time I doubled it and used real maple syrup instead of brown sugar. Because it is already in liquid form I could skip the step of heating it on the stovetop and mixed the maple syrup, honey and oil directly into the dry ingredients. I cooked it a bit longer than the recipe calls for - closer to 30 minutes, but I watched it closely. It has a wonderful toasted flavor! My kids like this better than store-bought cereal and we have gone through a double batch in about a week because we also put it on yogurt and snack on it straight.

Really tasty. Probably one of the better granola recipes I've tried. I added a little wheat germ and it still tasted great.

Very Good! The only change I made was adding more cinnamon. Next time I will be sure to only cook for 15 min not the full 20 b/c it was on the verge of burning after 20 min.

I looked everywhere for a gluten/wheat free granola and found this - it was the best! I did double the amount of honey for a less crumbly, more crunchy texture and also added sunflower seeds and nuts. Great recipe!

This is really good granola- if you leave out the raisins. ;) Ok, I just don't like them, so I left them out, and in their place I added 1/2 cup sunflower seeds and 1/2 cup coarsley chopped almonds. Added a pinch of salt to the wet ingredients. Baked at a lower temp (320) for about 15 minutes longer than stated- just checked on it a lot and stirred. Had this with yogurt and fruit this morning and it's very good!

I substituted margarine for half of the oil to cut down on the fat, and only used 1T of brown sugar. I used 3t of cinnamon, and used 1c of crushed cheerios in place of oatmeal to give it a little different texture. I also cut the raisins down to 1/4c to help knock out some sugar & calories. Turned out great!

Excellent flavor and crunch--I love the boil & mix method--saves time in the oven! I might add just a tiny pinch of salt, and I always leave out the raisins ;-) I'll add some nuts next time.

Could do with some more brown sugar and cinnamon.. but that's just personal preference.

I really enjoyed this granola. It was my first time and it came out great! My only suggestion is to bake it on a large enough pan so it is a single layer. Some of the pieces browned before the others were ready. Other than that, great!

Finally, a recipe without nuts. I added a combination of dried fruit (including the raisins). We sprinkle it on yogurt. Excellent and easy.

Yummm...this was my first time making granola. I made the recipe as stated, though it might also be good with dried cranberries or dried dates. I think it tasted better than my favorite store bought granola cereal! Thanks, Tammy, for a great recipe!
