I'm gonna try this tomorrow. I've been looking for something like this, so I can make my own cereal. If I could just make a health suggestion. Flaxseed- 75% of the health benefits contained in flaxseeds oxidizes within 15 minutes after you grind it. And is lost. Eating them whole, they pass right on through. So it is always good to grind it and eat within 15 minutes. If you'd like to add something similar (health wise) to the granola that will contain it until eaten. You can use chia seeds. Another really good superfood. Thx for the recipe. Looking forward to trying some.

Used raisens instead of nuts (just a personal preference, and less fat). I used applesauce instead of oil (same reason). I used pure maple instead of honey and/or brown sugar (prefer maple flavor over honey flavor, no other reason). And I added protein powder to the dry ingredients. Lastly, I baked it for about twice as long -- stiring every 10 minutes -- because I like it Extra crunchy. I am very pleased with the outcome. :-)
