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!
Tracy's better Granola In my recipe I use Coconut oil ( canola yuk!) 6c oats I cup sliced or chopped raw almonds walnuts or pecans 1c shredded raw unsweetened coconut flakes. 1c raw sunflower seeds 1/2 c maple syrup honey or agave 1/2 c coconut oil ( heat and melt syrup w/ coconut oil them combine with dry ingredients....add dried fruit after baking for 15-20 minutes at 325. Pros: Easy to make Cons: Canola oil
I also use coconut oil and whatever nuts I have on hand. Great recipe and the house smells great as well!
Use COCONUT OIL!! I am always browsing granola recipes. This is very close to one I have used for years and is a great recipe. I include sunflower seeds flax and sesame in the nut ratio but always use COCONUT OIL!
My favorite granola! It works great with different nuts and such but I always use coconut!
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
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
My Favorite I have been making this recipe for about a year and it always turns out delicious. I don't have any problems with the cooking time but I do stir every 15 min. Sooo much better than store bought! Pros: Easy
