  Delicious and hearty

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I've tried a few different granola recipes now with disappointing results, but not this time. I was very pleasantly surprised... with how much I liked the flavor of this granola. I used pecans in place of the cashews, golden raisins, and added 1/2 cup ground flax but followed the rest of the recipe as written. Beautiful, crunchy, and golden without a lot of fuss. I'll definitely be making this again!Read more

  The best granola I've ever had

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  My whole family loves this granola. My college aged daughter begs for it in care packages. Really awesome, flexible like... others have mentioned. Thank you so much for this recipe- so much cheaper than buying the stuff in the store.Read more

  The quintessential granola

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  All of the basics are covered here by the amazing Alton Brown. The only thing the granola lacked for me was a hint of... cinnamon which I added at the beginning so my home would be perfumed with its warm and passionate scent. I completely forgot to move the granola around the first hour, it stuck a little but was no big deal, still turned out fantastic. I used all the little bits of nuts and seeds I had left in my pantry for the recipe but next time I will not use peanuts, they were a tad overpowering. My bad. ~ Suzie the FoodieRead more

  Delicious + Healthy

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  Thanks AB for another foolproof recipe. As with many of your recipes, I often exchange ingredients to suit my own tastes but... your ingredient amounts are spot on. I used pistachios instead of cashews, added some roasted pumpkin seeds and mixed in some wheat germ and flax seed meal for a healthy kick. My family was impressed. Looking forward to your new shows as always...Read more

  Perfection!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I've tried several others on the site and this is by far THE BEST! I added a 1/2 cup each of pumpkin seeds and sunflower... seeds for even more crunch - but kept the rest as written. Perfect every time and a GREAT idea for a gift!Read more

  Easy and Versatile!!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I love to "tweek" recipes to suit my family's tastes. We like this recipe with honey instead of maple syrup and I use... peanuts too. I also add a little almond extract to the wet ingredients to give it an interesting hint of something people can't quite put their finger on. Thanks Alton!Read more
