Green Mountain Granola

Why am I buying granola at the store?? Never again. I've never seen a recipe so easy as this! Now my mixture didn't bind together when I pressed it down so there was no breaking up to do. In fact after 20 minutes it wasn't getting brown so I divided it between two pans and uped the temp to 375 and after 20 minutes more it was browned lightly and just perfect. The sweetness is just as I like. You must try this. I'll throw out my other recipies with 20 ingredients!

Fantastic granola, it has been years since I made any but with the price of good quality organic brands, it was time to have another go at it. This is an ideal recipe because it's so easy and you can customize as you wish. This time I made half the batch, which nearly filled my canning/storage jar, and left out the walnuts. I think the amount of maple sweetness is perfect. Thanks for another great one Sharon!

This granola is awesome!!!! It is perfectly sweet, has a lovely array of flavours plus it is super easy and rather quick to make. What more could you wish for?! LOVED this! :)
I reduced the butter by half adding a tad water to the syrup to make up for the missing liquid and it worked out nicely. For the fruits I used half raisins and half currants which added a lovely fruityness.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this winner with us, Sharon! It will be a staple in our house from now on.

The whole family liked this. I didn't add any dried fruit, b/c we are split between craisins & raisins. So I let everyone add their own at the table.

LOVE~LOVE~LOVE the flavor of this granola as well as how simple it is to make. Oh, not to mention that it is a true taste from my past :o) Though I never went to the Green Mountain Inn, I did spend a lot of time hiking the trails at the Von Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe. Thank you Sharon for sharing this wonderful recipe. Coming from a Green Mountain Girl who now lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Made and reviewed for the 24th AUS/NZ Swap. Jan. 09

Wonderful granola recipe. I've made it three times now, we have it most mornings for breakfast before work. I have added the craisins and raisins. Next time will add the dates, hadn't thought of that. Thanks for a great recipe!

THIS IS THE BEST! Made it several times now and each time I make it a little differently. This time I added dates and craisins nd it's perfect! We're spoiled now, no more store bought granola! Thanks for sharing Sharon!

This is wonderful granola! The use of the real maple syrup and coconut is all the sweetness this granola needs. I melted the butter in a measuring cup in the microwave, adding the maple syrup to it, then combining the entire amount to the dry ingredients. I used a baking spray on a jelly roll pan to keep the granola from sticking. I baked in a 325 degree oven for approximately 25 minutes, until lightly golden brown. After tasting my finished product, it was so good I decided not to add any additional ingredients to this batch! Thank you, Sharon, for another wonderful recipe : )
