This would have been a GREAT recipe but good god, the salt! This was the first time that I ever made granola and so I wanted to follow it as written, but it felt like it should have had a tsp of salt (or less rather than a TBSB. I love the way the maple syrup and olive oil work together, but next time it will be with much less salt.

This is the second granola recipe I tried....super!! Customized to what I had on hand...sunflower seeds and flaxseeds instead of pumpkin seeds, chopped pecans and sliced almonds instead of pistachios, and a combination of sour cherries, dried blueberries, and dried cranberries. I cut back to 1 tsp. of salt, and added 1 tsp. vanilla and about 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon. Now my only dilemma.....share this or keep it all to myself?? Sharing it for sure!!!

This recipe was really easy!!! It is great to serve for a brunch with vanilla yogurt instead of fresh fruit. I then gave it away as a parting gifts from a brunch we had. Everyone loved it.

So wonderful!! So much more flavor and crispness than bagged granola. Very easy to make. The change I made to the recipe was to omit the salt completely and I used roasted/salted pistachios because I couldn't find raw ones anywhere. I think it was a perfect balance; more salt would have been overkill.

I only wanted to make this b/c it looked so cute in the mason jar, but WOW, it's addicting!! I'm with everyone else on the salt - I probably used 2tsp and mixed my second batch in with it (that I didn't add salt to b/c the first batch was too much. I couldn't imagine a TBLS, as the little that I used was plenty. I made it for my son's teachers and brought some to work - it didn't last long! So tasty!!

I have made this granola twice now and both times I followed the recipe exactly. The recipe is meant to have a whole Tbs of salt to play off the sweetness of the sugar and maple syrup as well as the tart cherries. It's the perfect combination!

I made this yesterday. It came out just like the garnola they give out at Eleven Madison Park.
Here are the adjustments I made - I used only 1/4 tsp of salt and I baked it for about 35 min., to make it more crunchy and also darker in color.
My DH who eats yogurt and garnola everyday for b'fast LOVED it.

This granola is the best I have made, including the salt. It made a perfect salty, sweet combo. I will be making this again and again. Simply scrumptious!

This recipe would have been phenomenal if it weren't for the massive amount of salt. It lost the other three stars because of the TABLESPOON of salt, which was a disgusting amount of salt for one recipe. Reduce the salt and it should be good!
