I used 1/4 cup maple and 1/4 cup molasses. It was perfect. It's important to stir every 10 minutes and if your oven runs hot, lower it to 325degrees and leave it in the oven a few extra minutes. It's best to heat it slower than to burn it.

Very good!! Next time I'm going to substitute the molasses with Agave to see how that turns out.

This is a great snack. I found that 30 minutes was a bit too long when using 2 baking sheets, so the next time I just used one. I may try 2 baking sheets again for 20-25 minutes.

Who knew making granola could be so easy? Although the premise is great, I found it a little bland. Perhaps a little more spice and just a little more sweetener would be good. Word to the wise: better to take out of the oven sooner than later. I kept thinking it didn't quite look toasted enough after stirring it two or three times... so I left it in... and got some burnt pieces on the edge.

I'm not a vegan, but I love granola. This was an excellent recipe. I'm not a big molasses fan so I substituted comb honey or agave nectar. I also just used raisins instead of mixed fruit and apricots because I did not have them on hand. I will definitely make this again!

I was very excited to make my very first batch of granola. Unfortunately, I would not make this particular recipe again. It had too much molasses and turned out very brown. It also burned in my oven after being in there for only 8 minutes. Lastly, my husband and I had sick tummies after eating some of it. If you can stomach a lot of molasses and are a dedicated vegan, go ahead and try it! The ingredients are particularly nutritious for expecting mothers (much folic acid and iron).
