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.

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!

This recipe while yummy and nutritional, is also almost 300 calories per serving! This is a lot for breakfast!

I have never made granola before or even really thought about it. I am so glad I came across this video. It is so easy and so delicious. I ate it for breakfast this morning with some yogurt. My daughter also fell in love with it and ate it last night with some yogurt. You cannot go wrong!! I will never buy this stuff from the store.

WOW! This granola is fantastic. So nutty with just the right amount of sweetness. I enjoy a dish each morning for my breakfast. The only thing I did differently is I added more cinnamon. JUST PERFECT! I will be making this on a regular basis. Thanks, Ellie for starting my day off with a crunch and a smile!

This granola is da bomb! I will never buy granola again. We bought a gallon jug of maple syrup when we were in Vermont (we live in TX to have it to make this granola, which we make a double batch at least once every two weeks. I gave it as presents last Christmas and it was a HUGE hit.

It works well with honey, if you don't have maple syrup. Also I add the raisins in AFTER baking. And I have found that lining the pans with parchment paper makes it much easier to clean up, avoids burning, and makes it easier to pour the baked granola into a canister.

Thank you Ellie!
