Deliceous! The only thing I omitted was the wheat germ since I didn't have any. I think next time I will try leaving it in for 5 minutes longer to see if I can't get it a little crunchier although it is addicting just as is. Thanks for a great recipe! I am already excited to make this and give it away for Christmas presants.

I'm giving five stars for the recipe as written. I followed it almost exactly (didn't have the sunflower seeds so I added cashews instead) and it is delicious AND super easy. This is also a wonderful base recipe. Next time I'm adding coconut. I might substitute half the oil for applesauce.

Love this recipe. I add more or less of just about everything depending on what is on hand at the time. I share it as gifts with rave reviews and pass the recipe on when I can.

This stuff is delicious. I made it exactly according to the recipe. Since I didn't want it to burn (like I'd read in other posts), I only baked it a total of 45 minutes or so. I still like the consistency of it, but it's not as crunchy. I might try either baking it longer or spreading it out on two different cookie sheets so the layers are thinner (in just one pan, even a 9X13, it's still piled pretty deep). Love the variability too -- I added some chopped dates to give it that flavor, and really any dried fruit would go well in here! Thank you!

Great recipe but too heavy on the salt. I only used 1 tsp but it was still too salty. I also increased the cinnamon to 1 T but I could have used even more. I added Craisins. Yum

My son and I really enjoy this granola alone, with milk and topping our yogurt. I did add flax seed for some more fiber intake. Next time I will spread out on more cookie sheets and reduce cooking time. Some of the granola was not as crunchy as I like it and then other pieces were burnt.

I cute this recipe in half because I don't use that much granola. Also substituted a LOT of things. I used 1 cup of oats, and then 1/2 cup of rolled quinoa, 1/2 kiwicha, and instead of the flax seed, I used lin seed, instead of sunflower seeds I used sesame flour (which is more like a masa than a flour), instead of almonds I used peanuts, instead of brown sugar I used organic sugar plus a bit of sugar cane syrup. I made more of the honey/water liquid than what this calls for to add to the sweetness and to make this clump up better. I think the baking works best if you spread the mix on a baking sheet very thinly (packed tightly) and bake it for 20 minutes, but be sure to watch it and make sure it's not burning. It will clump better if you pack it in a thin layer. Otherwise it doesn't stick together. The ratio of dry ingredients to wet is perfect. I love the recipe.
