  1. this is a super easy, very yummy granola recipe! i followed the recipe, then i add extras later like raisins, craisin, or almonds. thanks for sharing!!
     
  2. This is great, even my five year old loves it. I added pecans, slivered almonds and dried cranberries (stir in the cranberries after it's cooked and still warm or they get really chewy). Delicious!!
     
  3. This is a great granola recipe. Because I don't always have everything, I revamped it a bit and like it even more. Instead of 1/2 C Corn Syrup, I used 1/4 C of Corn Syrup and 1/4 C Pure Maple Syrup. I also added 1 C chopped almonds. Yum yum! My entire family loves it!

  5. I was looking for a simple granola recipe and this is exactly that. It was very easy to put together, and smelled heavenly while baking. I will definitely be using this one from now on. And as an added bonus, Anything you like can be added. Coconut, craisins, dates, nuts, etc. I plan to be a little more adventurous with the ingredients as time goes by. But, for now, this is perfect as is.
