  1. Pretty yummy. Watch out, it makes a ton of granola.
     
  2. Delicious and easy. I added extra cinnamon since we're cinnamon lovers. Wonderful granola! Thank you!!
     
  3. Yummmm. Dh has been asking me to make granola for some time so today I obliged. I halved the recipe and didn't use as many nuts as called for since I didn't have them. I used about 1/4 cup of oil and it was just fine. Dh said he'd like it a little sweeter, but I thought it was great as written. He also thought the coconut was odd, but I like it a lot. I cooked it in two pans and to one, when cooled, added golden raisins. The other I left "fruit-less." The verdict is still out on which is better. Thanks for a good solid granola recipe!
     
  4. this is delicious, I used much less sugar water and oil, only problem is I cannot stopp "snacking" on it.
     
  5. We love this Granola, delicious to munch and delicious as a cereal. I cut the recipe down in size, being just the 2 of us. DH says I will have to make more. I added white raisins and dried cranberries for fruit. When I make this again I am going to cut down on the oil. Thank you Kaarin for posting the recipe.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a stay at home mom with 3 adorable children-an 8 year old daredevil son, a 5 1/2 year old princess and a wild little 2 year old girl! I love to cook, and like having my little helpers in the kitchen! I usually love recipes that are completely from scratch (I still love them actually) but right now my focus is on having any kind of food ready by mealtime! It's a little crazy here lately. Every summer we have a huge organic garden, apple orchard and raspberry and blueberry patches, along with a woods full of wild foods waiting for me to learn what they are so I can collect them. I'm learning about wild mushrooms first, so if anyone has any tips, let me know. We also eat wild venison which my husband and I hunt ourselves. It's our favorite meat, since it's lean, organic and cheap! Some of my hobbies are: hiking, biking, rock climbing, gardening, playing in the water with my kids, or just swinging in the hammock with a good book. I go stir crazy if I spend too much time inside.
