I make this granola every 2 weeks and eat it almost every day with greek yogurt and berries. Even my picky husband loves it. Definitely heat the oil and honey for a few minutes to loosen it up, you don't need to boil it, just warm it so mixes better. Change up your nuts or fruits to get more variety. This one is a keeper.

Great recipe. As I celiac, I had to use gluten-free oats and substituted Chia seed for the wheat germ. I also added pumpkin seeds and didn't use raisins.

Ooh! this was good. I didn't have the flax seed and wheat germ (will buy next time) but I added dried mango, pineapple, apricots, raisins, and chopped almonds. I toasted the almonds and oats for 15 minutes then added the dried fruits and cooked for another 15 minutes. Also, it is imperative to let the granola cool COMPLETELY before handling. Otherwise it will be too crumbly like cereal. If you leave it to cool, it will harden and then you can break it up to suit your own needs. Overall,great taste and highly addictive!!

This is the best granola recipe! The only thing I did different from the recipe was mix the oil and honey together before mixing it with the dry ingredients! I will definitely be making this again.

Like others, I have tweaked the recipe a bit. I used 1/2 cup of flax seed, omitted the sunflower seeds, and omitted the fruit. Tastes great when added to my greek yogurt for breakfast! Great recipe!

This granola was very good! I did replace the canola oil with coconut oil, added cocoa powder to half, and for the fruit used raisins, craisins, and chopped dried apricots. I preferred the chocolate granola!

Needed a recipe for granola for the lodge that I cook for. This one is so easy and so tasty without being oversweet and having too many ingredients and too much sugar. I used cramberries, raisons, oats and sliced almonds and almond extract. And just added ground flax seed for the other stuff cause thats what I had on hand. Every one loves it and it is so much fresher than the store bought stuff that we pay so much for. I recipe made 3 1/2 quarts for maaybe the price of one stale bag.

Excellent recipe! I took the advice of another reviewer and boiled the honey first to make it spread further. Thanks for a great recipe Chris!

I have been following & making this reciped for 3 months now. My only modification is to half the recipe (since I'm the only one who eats it) and omit the sunflower seeds (not a fan). Otherwise, I have memorized this recipe and eat it mixed w/what ever at least 5 days a week!
