this came out great!to make it less calories i did a few changes i halved the recipe. used 2C oats, 1/4C walnuts, 1/4 almonds and a handful of sunflower seeds. i used 2 tbsp of coconut oil(gives awesome flavor) and 2 tbsp honey. i may have cooked mine 5 mins too long bc i didnt think it was brown enough but it came out crunchy with a toasty flavor. i think i would prefer if i made it a lil chewier. have to test that out on the next batch. overall awesome recipe with lots of room for variations with flavors and mixins. thanks! BF loved it too, we have been adding it to our greek yogurt!

Quick. Easy. Delicious. Yum! I can't stop eating it. Added a splash of almond extract when I added the vanilla. Will never buy pre-made granola again.

This was very good granola. I made a 1/2 recipe, to test it, and it did fill the baking sheet I used. I realized the sunflower seeds I bought were seasoned, so I just left them out. I also hand chopped my almonds, and that was fine. I got 6 servings, approximately, with the half a recipe and missing sunflower seeds. I lined the baking sheet with parchment and had no problems with sticking or any issues. This granola is not overly sweet, sticky, or too crunchy like many I have tried. It was fine in milk, but it was excellent on some plain yogurt.

This is to die for! I'm going to add some dried fruit and chocolate to try for a trail mix! I didn't have sunflower seeds so I used raw pumpkin seeds instead. Love it!

The recipe is simple and easy. My granola came out just like the cover picture and tastes really good. I cant believe that I used to pay over $5 for less than this recipe's serving. Thank you for sharing!

This is a very good recipe. I added flax seed, wheat bran, and a pinch of salt, and it ended up being really delicious. I did end up having to bake it longer than the recipe calls for, however; I think it was about 40 minutes total at 275 degrees. I will make this again and play around with different nuts/fruits to add.

Worked great! I only changed a few things. First I added a little extra honey and oil to the liquid. I then brought the mixture to a boil on the stove to promote crunchiness and clusters. Pretty much the rest was the same and I turned out with golden crunchy sheets perfect for breaking into clusters for breakfast or snacking.

Good- I added some coarse sea salt to give it a little punch and that did the trick. I turned the oven down to 250 after the first 10 minutes, then stirred it every 7 minutes thereafter for a total of three 7 minute stints. It came out perfectly.

Very, very nice granola. I bake at 250 degrees for a longer time and add organic raisins and dried cranberries half way thru. I then add flax seeds when its comes out of the oven. It's a real hit with everybody I serve it to.
