This is by far the best granola recipe I have ever made. I used one called 'Harvest Granola' that came with my dehydrator, but this one easilly comes out better. I was skeptical about using such a large amount of ingredients in the recipe, but I am very pleased with the results. I definitely recommend everyone try this recipe. Next time I'm going to use raisins that I dehydrated at home. I also used only raisins in this (because I had no prunes or dried cranberries at home) I assume by 'pat flakes' you mean oatmeal. (I'm not familliar with the term)
