This is an excellent granola recipe. I used walnuts in mine and mixed dried fruit cut into small pieces. (I was out of pecans and almonds, but the walnuts give it a very nice, rich taste.) Thanks, ciao

This is a wonderful recipe for basic granola; one of my two favorites of all those I've tried on Zaar so far. It's easy, inexpensive, and a huge favorite around here. I didn't add in the nuts, due to family allergies, and forgot to reduce the amount of brown sugar accordingly so I was concerned it would be too sweet, but it was still wonderful (the kids loved the extra sweetness ;o). I tossed in a handful of leftover wheat germ, Grape Nuts, and ground flax; they matched well. The girls added golden raisins to theirs, we also tried dried apricots, dried cranberries, and sunflower seeds; all good add-ins. I can already tell we'll be making this a lot ~ thanks!

I can't believe I've just now made this! It is WONDERFUL! I halved the recipe b/c I didn't have enough oats, and used about 3/4 a cup of sliced almonds and about 1 cup of pecans (it's what I had on hand); it's sooooo good. I immediately topped a serving of fresh fruit salad with some once it cooled; I left about half plain and added 2 handfuls of dried cranberries to the other half. This was easy, made the house smell great while cooking, and absolutely delicious. Best recipe I've tried in a while, and I've tried many really good ones.
