Lisa's Granola

My favorite granola! It works great with different nuts and such but I always use coconut!

I also use coconut oil and whatever nuts I have on hand. Great recipe and the house smells great as well!

Pretty Decent Granola I made this granola as the recipe stated, only I used a mixture of whole almonds and chopped pecans instead of pepitas. I also used sliced almonds instead of chopped and I cut the recipe in half. The recipe turned out fairly well. The granola is well balanced with the nuts and oats. I think it could have used a bit more of each of the flavoring ingredients (honey, syrup, vanilla, cinnamon) to give it a bit more flavor since it mostly just tastes like roasted nuts (which isn't such a bad thing). Also, my granola only cooked for about 35-40 minutes and it probably should have been stirred more often than every 15 minutes. I do not suggest substituting with pecans, unless you add them in after the rest of the granola has started baking because they burn more easily than the other components. All in all the granola was pretty good, but I will adjust the baking time, number of times I stir it, and the amount of flavoring ingredients next time to make it great. Pros: tasty, healthy, versatile Cons: lacking some flavor

Delicious! Made 1/2 the recipe instead and cut ingredients by half. Cut back on the honey (1 tbsp instead of 2) and used quarter cup pecans, quarter cup walnuts, and 1/2 cup sliced almonds. First time making granola, but noticed browning happened within 15 min while in the oven. Also for calorie counters, not sure if I calculated wrong, but based on half a cup serving, it's still about double the stated calories. I got about 200 something cals for a quarter cup- which sounds about right for most granolas anyway. Cons: Delicious

Delicious and versatile This was delicious and easy to make. I could see many variation possibilities, but stuck to the recipe for my first try. It cooked a lot quicker than I expected though. I could have pulled it out 10 minutes earlier than I did. Stay on top of the stirring!
