Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just made this to bring into work tomorrow for a breakfast. I followed the recipe to a T except I added a tablespoon of... honey as another viewer suggested to make some granola "clumps." I stirred the mixture every 6 minutes. It was VERY easy to make and I just had some with some non-fat plain yogurt. YUM!!! Like other viewers, I don't think I'll ever purchase granola again since this! Thank you, Ellie for another fantastic recipe!Read more

YOUR FAMILY WILL LOVE OATMEAL THIS WAY!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My 8-yrs-old & oatmeal-hating husband loved this recipe! I used whatever dried fruits I already had that my son and hubby... wouldn't dare touch on its own. It is so easy to make. I packed some in a tupperware and we took it on a road trip instead of buying the usual potato chips at the gas stations. My son will have some when he gets home from school. I packed some in ziplocks for my hubby to leave at his desk for snacking. I've had it with milk for breakfast! So many things you can do with this! You won't regret it! Good for you, too!Read more

Best Granola I ever made !
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is by far the best granola I have ever made. It does not even compare to store bought granola. This recipe is easy and... worth the time. I added cranberries to the last batch I made and it really made it even better. This is a great breakfast item to top on yogurt. I love it! Read more

Love it, but with changes
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I was going to rate this recipe 5 stars, but the second time I made it I realized I only had 1/4 cup of maple syrup left, so... I combined this recipe with one from Alton Brown. I used 1/4 cup syrup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup vegetable oil. I found the flavor much more exciting and enjoyable (I fully realize this sacrifices the integrity of the recipe and makes it less healthy). It reminded me of lightly candied nuts. I also had some issues with my nuts tasting burned, so I dropped the temp to 250 and cooked it for an hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Now I try to keep this granola in my fridge at all times because my 2 1/2 year old twins love it as much as I do.Read more

I'm addicted!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a wonderful, butter-free recipe. Most of the recipes I've come across have tons of butter or honey. I'm not a fan... of honey recipes because all you taste is the honey! With this one, the maple flavor is evident, but light. I tried it with raisins, but prefer it with "craisins". I've made it twice in the last three weeks. :) Great with yogurt, a little bit of milk, or to munch by itself. Thanks!Read more
