This is the best Granola I have ever made! I cooked for 10 minutes then stirred it, I did this 31/2 times and it turned out perfect. We won't be buying anymore, not when this is so easy and inexpensive!

I really like how basic this recipe is. The flavor compliments anything you want to add to it to "dress it up". All combinations of nuts and dried fruits that I've tried so far have gone really well. I even used it to make Easy Granola Bars and it worked beautifully for that also. Thanks for sharing!
