one word to describe this recipe...AMAZING! My husband takes it everywhere with him and whines when we run out. I add about 1tbsp vanilla and 1 tbsp cinnamon and use honey instead of maple syrup and it turns out great! I tried it one time with agave because thats all I had. Does not work so well, I think the agave is a little too thin. We've also used it for breakfast cereal and I find its very versatile. I use it as a base for trail mix, adding M&M's to the mix and nuts. Its a wonderful recipe.

I seem to be in the minority, but I really didn't like this at all. It has no flavor other than being tooth achingly sweet. Alton needs to get back in the kitchen on this one.

This was terrific and easy to make! I substituted 1 cup of chopped pecans for the almonds and cashews. I also used light brown sugar.

Delicious! We have made this about five times, usually doubled. Alton got the cooking directions perfect, as well as the use of maple syrup instead of honey. Whisk the maple syrup and oil together to form an emulsion that coats everything uniformly. I find this recipe to be too sweet, so we halve the brown sugar and cut the coconut a little as well. I seek the healthiest nuts and seeds based on internet suggestions that seem reliable. We buy them from the bulk foods section at Wegmans. Roughly 0.15 pounds each of slivered almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds plus five cups of oatmeal make a double batch. Smaller particles like ground flax seeds and sesame seeds don't work as well. It stays fresh for weeks when stored in a freezer bag in our wine fridge (55 degrees. I usually substitute fresh fruit for the raisins; tart berries work better than sweet fruits like bananas.

I made this recipe, wow! AB did it again! I replaced the cashews with pecans and used unsweetened coconut but other than that I followed as written. Awesome! Even the kids and wife loved it. Will make again for sure!

I tried this recipe a few months ago, and it is all my family wants to eat for breakfast. I make it plain, with no nuts, etc. I make for different gallon zip locks with different add-ins. With seven of us, there are many tastes to accommodate. Thank you Alton for sharing this recipe! No more cold cereal at our house! I do spend a fair amount of time making granola every week, but it's toally worth it!

I used whole almonds and pistachios with the coconut, also dried cranberries with only 2 T brown sugar. I messed up and mixed everything together (should have left the berries out til the end but added extra juice-1/4 cup real maple syrup and 1/2 cup agave nectar. Baked for 1 hour. It came out great!!!
