Love it love it love it!!! I used half quick oats and half regular (diff textures) and 1c each of craisins, almonds, rice crispies and ground flax seeds. Doubled the honey as recomended by others and baked an extra 5 min (25 min total). Beautiful and tastes great!!

This was good, but there is another recipe on this site I like a lot better. This is a little heavy, but I bet it will be delicious with yogurt for breakfast. The honey made it stick to the pan, and I had sprayed the pans with cooking spray. So grease those pans! I didn't have enough pecans, so I compensated with extra almonds and sunflower seeds. I also lowered the baking time to 275, for 45 minutes, and stirred every 15 minutes. The longer baking time made my granola a little dark, so cut back if that's not what you want. But I don't think the baking time indicated in the recipe is long enough.

This has been a staple in my home. We eat it with plain yogart and berries or just as it's own cereal. I also like it because it is so easy to improvise. I usally don't buy pecans, however, you can add just about anything (flax seed, sesame seed, coconut. etc.) and it still tastes good b/c there is so much honey. I also sometimes add raisins after it has cooked.

I used some suggestions from other reviews, but it really needs some more peanut butter! 1/3 cup was not enough! Other than that, it was my first time making granola and it could not have been easier. Thanks so much for the recipe!

This recipe was very yummy. It didn't have as much flavor as I would have liked so I would suggest adding some extra honey, but it was still delicious.

This recipe gets 5 stars for taste, but 1 star for easy of preparation. This may be because I altered the recipe. I added a ½ half cup of molasses and a ½ cup Karo syrup along with ½ tsp. cloves and ½ tsp. nutmeg. I also added 1 cup of raisins. I let the granola cool on the pan as the recipe suggested and I couldn’t get the granola off the pan. It was a huge mess! Next time I’ll transfer the warm granola to cool on parchment paper.

I've made this three times now and love it! I haven't added a lot of different things just the basic stuff with the original recipe and it's still great. I live in Africa and the cereal choices are few. Thanks for sharing this recipe...I'll be making many more times!

Holy Cow. This is fabulous. I followed some other reviewer's advice and made some adjustments. I used about 3/4 of a cup of applesauce and just a splash of olive oil in place of the canola oil. I also increased the honey to 1 cup. I added probably 1/3 cup of crunchy peanut butter to the "oil" mix and added orange flavored crasins to soak while I mixed the dry ingredients. I think the only thing I added to the dry part was about 1/3 cup brown sugar. I baked it all at 275 for about 25 minutes. I took it out and stirred it every 7 minutes and then reset the timer for another 7 minutes when I was done, and I did that 3 times total plus I left it in for about 4 minutes at the end. I dumped both pans onto paper towels to cool before I stored it, and neither my husband or I could keep from grabbing handfuls of it while it sat there. YUM!

Good starter recipe. I took the advice of others and used a full cup of honey, and it was still not very sweet, which I liked. I also added cranberries and golden raisins. My 2 y-o loved it!

This granola is very good. It became crunchy after it cooled, which was what I was looking for. I added only about 3T of oil and about a cup of honey, and I also added about 3/4 cup of coconut and some extra cinnamon before I baked it. I stirred it every 5-10 minutes while baking (I used 13"x9"x2" pans instead of cookie sheets to make stirring easier), and it took about 25-30 minutes at 275 degrees. It browned nicely without burning. I'll be making this again, and I'm looking forward to trying some different variations!

I found the cook time listed on this recipe far too long. It was delicious once mixed with other ingredients, but the mixture was very heavy on its own.

A wonderful gift recipe--friends and family received it last Christmas. And I've been making it regularly since. Great for breakfast or out-of-hand afternoon snack. I increase the honey to 2/3 cup and mix it with the oil and vanilla before adding to the oatmeal for more thorough combining of ingredients. If adding fruit (dried cherries, cranberries, or raisins), let them soak in the oil/honey while you chop nuts or combine the dry ingredients. Keeps them chewy even after baking.

The only reason I didn't give this recipe 5 stars is because I changed its sweetness. I know the recipe's called "honey" nut granola and many of the reviewers thought it needed more honey. I don't ordinarily eat sweet cereals though, & it was too sweet & had way too much cinnamon for my taste. I used a 2 oz. package of slivered almonds, 1/2 cup of sunflower seeds from a jar, 1/4 cup honey, & 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon. I also added 1/4 cup of wheat germ to the oat/nut mixture & added 1/3 cup of chunky peanut butter to the oil/honey mixture. Before eating it, I add some raisons too. Yummy! My husband's been enjoying it as well.

Very nice! The good thing about this recipe is that you can really play with what you put in and how much. As per other reviewers suggestions, I used homemade applesauce but almost tripled the amount (ie. almost 1 cup) and halved the amount of honey. I also had to change the bake time to 200 degrees for an hour cause mine burnt a bit on the recommended temp. as it wasn't near done after 20 min. All in all, a great recipe and lots of good suggestions from others.

My husband loved this recipe. It's the first thing I've been able to get him to bring to work to snack on instead of buying junk from the vending machine. I also learned that you really do need to spread it out on two baking sheets and add more honey.
