This simple but lovely granola comes from the Green Mountain Inn in Stowe, Vermont. I love the addition of maple syrup! A little history: Sylvester Graham develops Graham flour and Graham Crackers; later, Dr. James C. Jackson uses sheets of baked Graham flour, broken up, rebaked and broken up again to create "Granula". Then Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, a Seventh Day Adventist and director of their Battle Creek Sanitarium, develops a mix of baked and rebaked whole grains, and also calls it "Granula", which was later made famous by Charles W. Post, remaking it and calling it Grape Nuts.

SERVES 15 , 7 1/2 cups (change servings and units)

1/2-2/3 cup dried cranberries (optional) or dried apricot (optional) or any dried fruit (optional)

The whole family liked this. I didn't add any dried fruit, b/c we are split between craisins & raisins. So I let everyone add their own at the table.

LOVE~LOVE~LOVE the flavor of this granola as well as how simple it is to make. Oh, not to mention that it is a true taste from my past :o) Though I never went to the Green Mountain Inn, I did spend a lot of time hiking the trails at the Von Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe. Thank you Sharon for sharing this wonderful recipe. Coming from a Green Mountain Girl who now lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Made and reviewed for the 24th AUS/NZ Swap. Jan. 09

This is wonderful granola! The use of the real maple syrup and coconut is all the sweetness this granola needs. I melted the butter in a measuring cup in the microwave, adding the maple syrup to it, then combining the entire amount to the dry ingredients. I used a baking spray on a jelly roll pan to keep the granola from sticking. I baked in a 325 degree oven for approximately 25 minutes, until lightly golden brown. After tasting my finished product, it was so good I decided not to add any additional ingredients to this batch! Thank you, Sharon, for another wonderful recipe : )

Wonderful granola recipe. I've made it three times now, we have it most mornings for breakfast before work. I have added the craisins and raisins. Next time will add the dates, hadn't thought of that. Thanks for a great recipe!
