My husband loves this so if I was rating it for him I would give it 5 stars. I like it but I'm not a huge fan of the banana flavor.

Excellent. I exchanged dried apricots for the dates for a lighter colored granola. For Christmas I'll add green pistachio nuts and dried cranberries. When using almonds, I substitute almond flavor for the vanilla. I think dried fruit bits are tasteless (they don't really have the flavor of the food they once were) so I add cheaper raisins after cooking, so they are not as hard as hockey pucks.

I was looking for a lowfat/no fat granola. This fits the bill! I reduced the oats and added some wheat germ which toasts nicely. It is not so sweet that it's addictive, but is very delicious as a snack or breakfast. Definitely a keeper!

This is very delicious! I have been searching for a long time for an oil-free recipe that actually tastes good. This one is simple, not too sugary, but not tasteless or too much like masticating tree bark! I did add a bit more spice, cloves and ginger in addition to the cinnamon, and a bit of honey and coconut as per a few of the reviews. I like it a lot! I will be making this again.

I have difficulty making granola. It's probably some genetic defect. I cooked this too long trying to get some crunch. It went from soggy to wooden. I found the flavors very bland. I'm for cooking with as little refined sugars as possible, but this needed more. I added honey and about 1/2 cup brown sugar and the fruit flavors perked. I clearly need some training regarding granola.

YUM! This is my first time making granola and it turned out great! I did add honey and wheat germ before baking and ended up adding more honey and brown sugar after it was done baking to sweeten it up a little more :)
