I made this almost exactly according to the recipe - just added some crushed banana chips for a bit of a fruity flavor (which, by the way, tasted WONDERFUL with the coconut.) I love it! Next time I might cut back a bit on the sesame seeds - they're good, but expensive and 1/4 cup would probably be more than enough. I thought it made a wonderful amount of granola, in fact I made a double batch! If you don't eat cereal every day and have a small household, you might want to halve the recipe, although there are no fast-spoiling ingredients and it should keep just fine for a few weeks. Since I'm making it for a family of 5 that goes through a box of cereal in about 2-3 days, a double batch means I won't have to buy cereal for a week or two! One lady commented that it burned in 30 minutes. I'm wondering if her oven temp was off, because I didn't have that problem at all - 60 minutes stirring every 15 minutes and it turned out perfectly. Maybe cut back a bit if you're layering it really thin and making a smaller batch, but as long as you stir it regularly and watch for it to turn golden brown (like you do in any granola recipe) it should turn out fine. We'll definitely be making this again, trying some other fruit and nut combos to keep in interesting!
