Granola Clusters

"This is a recipe that I came up with after just being tired of that granola flake stuff that you need a spoon to eat. I wanted something I could pick up when I was on the go, but still something with that wonderful granola crunch. So, this is it. ENJOY!"

  1. I will NEVER buy store bought granola again. This recipe is absolutely amazing and in fact I can't stop eating it! I did cook mine a little longer (30 minutes total instead of 20) and I added 1 tsp of vanilla. TERRIFIC! and easy.
     
  2. Great Recipe - very versatile! I use honey too (never seem to have maple syrup on hand). And I usually use a 6 grain cereal instead of only the oats (again, what I have on hand). I increase the cooking time to about 15 minutes per side and will add in any wetter fruits (like dried apricots or dates) for the last 15 minutes. Thank you so much for the terrific recipe!
     
  3. I've made this recipe enough I have started personalizing it. Honey is a good switch from the maple syrup. I find that the base flour/oat/butter/sugar mix can handle about 3 cups of "add ins". I've added almonds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, craisins, raisins, coconut, pecans....it's very versatile. The only thing I do differently is add a capful of vanilla extract and usually cook it a little longer. When I pull it out of the oven I push it together, let it cool and find it clusters even better. Thank you for a great recipe!
     
  4. Excellent recipe! I just made this today and MY O' MY!! it is delish!!! I'm never buying granola ever again!!
     
  5. pretty awesome.... I too will never buy store bought granola again..... not healthy at all, but it's delicious! Should be eaten sparingly or make a bunch and give away as gifts.

  1. one batch I used coconut oil instead of butter. Delicious for sure, but after tasting the batch with butter.... wow, very yummy. I also added chia seed, hemp in one batch.... you can add whatever to the basic recipe to make it your own.
