Absolutely delicious and dead easy... finally a plain but delightful granola recipe! I have made this twice so far, once as written and once without the nuts. Rave reviews from the "testers" both times. This recipe is a keeper, and this granola will be sent in "care packages" for the nieces and nephews at college. I'll just seal it up with the vacuum-sealing gadget.:)

Great Granola. I liked it with the peanuts. I lightened it up a little bit using 2T melted butter for the oil and reducing the sugar and honey to 1/4 cup each as suggested by other reviewers.

Really good! I was on a strict diet and couldn't have sugar, just honey, so I substituted all the sugar for honey, added peanuts, and it turned out great. Next timed I'll add a variety of nuts and dried fruit too.

I used almonds instead of peanuts and added the cinnamon like recommended in another review...I love it. I eat it almost every morning with my yogurt!

Delicious! I took the advice of Granyloohoo (who always gives great advice in her reviews!) and used 1/4 cup each of the honey and brown sugar, 3 Tbsp of oil and 1/4 tsp salt. I also used ground flaxseed instead of wheat germ. This came out plenty sweet and has a very nice crunch to it. I added 1/2 a cup coconut while baking and dumped in some craisins when I took it out of the oven. Excellent!

This was okay. I made it exactly as directed. I just wasn't crazy about the peanuts. I like peanuts but it just didn't fit with this recipe. I'm going to try another's recommendation and use almonds next time.

I made this for my son's class for Halloween and added candy corn. It was very tasty and made a nice seasonal snack, but a seemingly more healthful alternative than many other treats. My son has asked me to make it many times since then.

Just a bit too dry, but maybe it's my oven - I will lower the cooking time next time. Very good with milk

My son came home and announced we had to make something for the class for the next day. This was perfect. Easy to make, easy to transport, and makes a ton. He didn't have any leftover..

Very good, our family and everyone else who tried it really liked it. We reduced the brown sugar to about 1/2 because thought it was too sweet. Also, if you don't want it to be quite so crumbly I recommend you don't stir as often while baking. We sometimes just leave out the nuts all together. It is very good mixed with cheerios in the morning or on yogurt. Will be trying with Almonds next time, sounds yummy!

I made this to send to my daughter in Iraq. I thought it was just OK. I guess from the high ratings I was expecting "wow". Probably won't make again.

I made this to go along with yogurt and berries for a brunch. It was good, but not outstanding. I think I'll save my time and buy the granola.

This is excellent. It took hardly no time and it taste better than boxed granola. I followed the lower sugar/oil suggestion recommended by others and added 1/2 cup coconut. I also substituted almonds for the peanuts because that's what I had on hand.
