Oatmeal Cookie Granola
"This smells so good while cooking! Makes a great cereal or snack, and of course tastes like a great oatmeal cookie. The directions call for cooking on a greased cookie sheet but I used a silpat mat and it worked great."

Solid recipe. Works nicely. I used wheat germ instead of flaxseed for my picky eater, and it's a hit. -
I absolutely love this recipe! I have made it twice this week already :] It's great with milk, but I prefer it plain as a snack. I added dried figs, banana chips, walnuts, and cashews in with the oats and honey mixture. I also added some maple syrup for some more dimension. This is THE best granola recipe, as it is delicious and very crunchy - just how I like it! -
This is great. Followed recipe exactly and it turned out fantastic! In my opinion is best broken up and served over yogurt. Thanks for this recipe! -
Thanks for the yummy recipe! Increased the cinnamon a bit for our family, but just perfect granola. -
This was a great hit in my family! My husband shook the container and broke it up more and we use it for cereal with milk or mixed in with yogurt...so yummy!

This was wonderful! I did adjust a bit. I did not have flaxseed, i substituted splenda brown sugar for the regular brown sugar and added some almonds and craisins. Even my husband liked it! It is a make again for sure!!
