Love this recipe, its so yummy! I also loved the idea of heating the honey in the microwave! The only things I did differently was use slivered almonds that I chopped into smaller pieces (I wanted small to mix into yogurt) and I decreased the amount of olive oil so that I could add about a tablespoon of vanilla. I'm bookmarking this recipe to make again!

This is a yummy granola recipe! I did make a few substitutions though: Used 2 tbs of brown sugar used 1 tsp of cinnamon used canola oil instead of olive oil (didn't have light oo on hand) Used orange flavored cranberries! It took the full 25 minutes for the granola to cook for me. This is so wonderful in the morning w/ milk, mixed in w/ yogurt or as an afternoon snack. I plan on making this one again. Thanks for posting.

I'm an elementary teacher. My only child married several years ago and has since blessed me with a beautiful granddaughter and recently a new grandson. I'm always looking for good and easy food for two. I love baking! I'm diabetic, so my cooking style has become a lot more health conscious. Also I'm back on Weight Watcher's trying to shed those extra pounds that hang on as I get more mature! 8-)
