This was my first attempt at homemade granola, and it was a hit! The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars was because I haven't quite mastered the "chunky" effect for my granola. I didn't realize how much more it would chunk together as it cooled, so I added additional honey/oil to help with the bunching. It was a little too sticky and I will be trying this again with no additional honey - just letting the granola cool! I had also taken the advice of some other reviewers and added raisins and brown sugar. Delicious!

Good base recipe. I added about 3 T of brown sugar, some vanilla, and about 1/4 tsp of salt before baking. When it was done in the oven, I added some raisins and dried cranberries. I did have a problem with the baking time. It was WAY TOO LONG. I had mine in for about 17 minutes and I still questioned whether it was a little overdone.

That was wonderful! Totally didn't need any sugar added. My daughter LOVES it. I do think I toasted the almonds a bit long but even with that it tastes fabulous. I only cooked mine for 25 minutes as other reviewers suggested and it was the perfect amount of time. We like to make apple granola sandwiches with it. Slice apples, spread peanut butter, and sprinkle with granola. Yummy!

This is by far the easiest granola recipe I have found and one of the most delicious!! * make sure you don't let this sit in your oven after timer goes off it burns easy after 30 minutes! First time I made it I almost cried because I got distracted and it was burnt.. =( but other than that AMAZING!! =D

This was incredible. After I baked it, I threw in a heaping half cup of organic raisins. The kids and I thought this was like eating oatmeal cookies in a bowl. VERY good.

Really good. Next time I'm going to add some dried apricots or cherries to it. I put it in my yogurt every morning

Easy starter recipe. It lacked some flavor so I added almost 1/4 c. light brown sugar and increased the cinnamon to 1 1/2 tsp. I also toasted both slivered almonds and coconut and increased the oats to 3 c. I used a bit less than 1/4 c. oil and mixed in some golden raisins the last 5 mins of cooking and mine was done in 25 mins. I stirred it every 10 mins. Very good basic and easy granola recipe I will make again. Great in yogurt, oatmeal and cereal...and just eating out of hand!!

I love granola and this recipe is super simple and very yummy. Quick update: I made a second batch of this with a couple of alterations. I added 1tsp pure Mexican vanilla and a beaten egg white. I poured my mixture onto a cookie sheet and pressed it down. Then I baked it uncovered for 12 minutes after that I covered it with foil, pressed it down again and baked another 15. The vanilla added nice flavor and the egg white helped the granola clump. A very good recipe I will be making regularly!
