My family and I love this recipe. We make it every week, sometimes changing the ingredients for variety. Our favorite variations are maple (1/4 c. maple syrup, 1/4 c. honey, no cinnamon) and coconut (add 1 cup grated, unsweetened, to either honey or maple varieties.) I usually bake a little longer--probably 30 minutes. Thanks Karen!

This is a great overall recipe. I tinkered with it a bit to match my tastes: I substitued crispy rice cereal for the almonds, omitted the sunflower seeds, added about 1/2 cup of wheat germ, substituted unsweetened applesauce for the oil, and substituted maple syrup for the honey. I added maybe another tablespoon of honey because I like my granola pretty sweet. Be sure to bake in very shallow layers on baking sheets, though; I tried to be clever and use a cake pan and just dump all of it in there at once, and it took about an hour and a half to brown it all! Next time I make this, I will use two baking sheets with sides.

Love this and keep making more. I use cashews instead of pecans and add mixed seeds such as pumkin and flax as well as soy nuts. As other reviewers have done I skipped the oil and used applesauce and increased the honey.

I've made this granola a couple times and I love it. Made a double batch at Christmas and gave as gifts in pretty celophane bags tied with beautiful ribbon. For a double batch, I used 1/3 cup oil and 1 cup honey. Also added dried cranberries after baking. Baked at 250 for a longer period of time, turning often. Wonderful!!!

I made it per the recipe and it turned out very tastey. Next time I'll add more honey as others suggested to get the granola to clump together more. As I made it, the oats didn't really stick together in clumps like we prefer it to. Very good flavor though...and definitely worth experimenting with!

I loved this recipe! I added and extra 1/4C honey and replaced the sunflower seeds for walnutes. I sprayed a jelly roll pan with non stick spray and wiped off the excess. Baked for the length of time suggested. Important to stir while the mixture is cooling. This is great for a diet that doesn't allow for refined sugar! The natural sugar in honey makes this very tasty!

I definately have to try making this again. I followed some suggestions in reviews I had read, and added lots more honey. But I think that is where my troubles started. This turned out really gooey for me, even with additional baking time. I dont know if thats what people were going for, but next time I am going to try it per the recipe and see what consistency I get. So three stars, but that is my fault.

This was delicious. I made up a batch to eat with vanilla yogurt and it stayed fresh and crunchy for several days. All I had were almonds and raisins, so that's what I used. I meant to mix in some peanut butter but forgot, so maybe next time I'll do that. Thanks for sharing.

It is very rewarding (and so easy!) to make your own granola! I never buy it premade anymore. I've made this recipe several times and have adjusted it slightly to my preferences. Adding a cup or so of dried cranberries gives it a lot more oomph. Also, walnuts work just as well as pecans. I double the honey and add only a couple of tablespoons of oil, and add extra vanilla. Instead of two baking sheets, it works just as well to throw the whole thing in a big roasting pan, as long as you turn the granola over a few times. It's best to simply monitor the granola in the oven, baking it until it's the right amount of golden for your taste.

I would DEFINITELY give this as a gift!!! Looks great and tastes great. We made this for a road trip and it was great. Doubled the honey (and then some) to get bigger clumps as previously suggested, and half the sunflower seeds, and even that may have been too much. Bought rice krispies but forgot to put them in - I will try that next time! At first when I took it out of the oven, I did not think it was done because it was still loose and wet looking, but after sitting for like 15 minutes, it firmed up and dried out. I was able to break it off in chunks but rolling up the aluminum foil that I baked it on, and pouring it directly into a ziplock bag. If they are still moist, keep that bag open until it dries out before you seal it!! Great road trip food. DELICIOUS!!!

This is the best granola recipe. I always double the recipe because we eat it up so fast. I cut the fat by using all applesauce in place of the oil. Smells great when baking. It makes a nice gift too. I just put it in quart canning jar and decorate the top with pretty fabric and decorative cord to tie it up.

I, too, added more honey than the recipe called for. Probably about 3-4T more. I also substituted walnut pieces for the sunflower seeds and baked about 5-8 min. longer than suggested. This is a great recipe. Is delicious with vanilla yogurt or plain with dried cranberries as a snack. Thanks for the great recipe.

This was a really great starter recipe. I have never made granola before but it turned out better than expected. I put almost a cup of honey in but it definitely needed more. I added flavored craisins and it was so good. I couldnt believe I made my own cereal and it was better than some I have bought. My husband thought of all kinds of things to add for variety. So I will be making this more often. And it was so easy!!

Definitely a great flavor and combination of nuts and oats. Like the others before me, I'll add a little more honey for bigger chunks. Definitely a great choice for a snack!

Very good but consider lowering the temperature to 250 so it does not burn. Next time I will add a little more honey. Try adding some raisins after cooking for sweetness.
