    I used quick cooking oats and I used raw coconut oil. I used only one cup of nuts and replaced the other cup of nuts with 1/2 cup whole buckwheat. I thought it was too sweet last time so this time I replaced 2 tbs of the honey with a banana and only used 1/2 cup coconut oil. I also added in 2 tsp of cinnamon and added my coconut at the end since I don't like toasted coconut...it was done in 20 mins...I just looove this recipe..it's a keeper!

    this has become a staple in my house. Occasionally I add different dried fruits for a change or use the base for granola bars for a quick healthy snack.

    As with many recipes adjustments are according to your personal taste. I really liked the recipe but would lessen the oil next time and I substituted the cashews for whole toasted almonds (used the thin sliced almonds as called for didn't have dried figs but added the other dried fruits and I really like it.

    As others mentioned, it needs to be stirred occasionally and I liked how it crisped up. I cooked it about 50 minutes....my oven doesn't cook fast at the designated temp.

    I will definitely make again. GREAT for holiday gift-giving.

    I'm not a big fan of grannola, but this one sounded really good and I generally have good luck with BC recipes. I read the reviews while my first batch was in the oven(I cut the recipe in half, just in case,and I'm glad I did because I caught it before it burned. It was in 20 mintues. Tossed it around a bit and did another 10 min.then turned the oven off a let the granola dry a bit. It's about to rain today so the air is humid. I think it's going to affect the crunchiness. We'll see. Thank you Jerry-18etc and ErinK.

    I'd like to try some of these recipes. But, as I am on a calorie restrictive diet I need to have the nutritional information on this.

    Excellent. Whole family is excited when I make this. Make sure don't use the paper thin almonds, but rather slivered almonds, or they will burn.

    Excellent granola - if you stir every 10 minutes and bake it only 30 minutes. Baking for 45 min. is way too long - it goes from golden brown to dark brown and tastes like burnt toast. The second time we made it, we only made a half recipe since the full recipe makes an awful lot, and we'd rather make a smaller batch that can retain it freshness, We thought the sweetness was fine with 1/2 cup of honey - especially considering the sweetened coconut is very sweet. We would consider using only 1/2 cup of oil as well.

    I'm not usually a granola fan, but I made it this year for gifts. It was beautiful in glass jars and delicious. I did increase the amount of honey slightly, lowered the heat to 325, and reduced the baking time to about 25-30 minutes. It turned out golden and crunchy...until I placed in airtight jars. The next morning my granola was soft and slightly sticky instead of crunchy. What did I do wrong?

    Tried this today and while I've made granola in the past, this turned pitch black and burnt in just 15 minutes at 350. Cannot recommend it at all.

    Sooooo good. I went ahead and followed the advice of other reviewers and swapped the measurements for the oil and the honey. Also, I didn't bake it anywhere near the 45 min. I baked for 10 min and stirred, baked it another 10 min and stirred, and then took it out of the oven. I cut the oven off and after both the mixture and the oven cooled down I put it back in to sit in the heat. It worked...I can't stop eating this granola!
