I followed this recipe's instructions, heating the boiling the liquid ingredients in the microwave. The only ingredient I changed was using grape nuts in place of the puffed corn cereal. I got two large cooked sheets of granola. I baked for the 25 minutes, and stirred frequently. We just thought it tasted burnt, even though it doesn't appear to BE burnt. I don't know what to make of it.
