Very good. I 1/2ed the coconut & used a full 2 tsp but the coconut still over powered the vanilla. Great taste just not the "vanilla granola" I am looking for. More of a coconut sesame granola. Will make again, and will tweek the vanilla/coconut/sesame ratios.

Just a little warning... this makes a TON of granola!! Had I realized this before I started the sauce, I would have halved the recipe. Especially since I didn't even know if we would like it in the first place! But, I made the whole thing with the following changes: Added a TB of vanilla, and adjusted he water accordingly, cut back on the oil, added a tsp. of Cinnamon. I didn't have any sesame seeds so I increase the amount of coconut and pecans (prefer these to walnuts), and threw it some cranraisins. The granola didn't seem dry enough after just one hour, so I baked it longer (30-45 minuts longer). This was a mistake because it's now over cooked. In spite of my mishaps, it still tastes pretty good--I ate some with yogurt this morning. It has an interesting nutty, vanilla, cinnamon flavor. Next time I will only make half as much, and cook for the stated time.

I followed the recipe and it is very very good. After storing in a container after a week the flavor is even better than when I first made it. Thanks for sharing.

After 30 min in the oven, mine was BURNED. I was expecting to cook it for 60min, like the recipe says. I don't think I did anything wrong, I followed the recipe exactly. Even without the burned flavor, I wasn't impressed.

This was good, but I prefer other granola recipes to this one. It seemed to be lacking a level of flavor- maybe a pinch of salt would help. I cut the oil to 1/2 cup- any more would have been too much (I'm sure this did not affect the flavor at all). It is good though, and I enjoy it for breakfast with yougurt and fruit.

Very good, but not my favorite. I like throwing in some other stuff like dried cranberries, more nuts, etc.

This is a great recipe. I ran out of sesame seeds, so I used millet and I also added ground flax seeds. I've had to keep it stocked because my husband eats 2 bowls a day and still tells me how much he loves it.
