Wow... Even better than I expected. This granola turned out perfect and has SO much flavour! No more inferior boxed cereals for me. This has enough sweetness to just add milk and have a great breakfast with enough protein to sustain you for a while. Have a piece of fruit with it and you're good to go. Would also make a great snack with yogurt, or over some cooked apples. This is going to be a new favourite recipe in our house! Thanks so much MessyCook!! I wish I could give it more stars.

Amazing recipe! I love that it can all be mixed right in the pan you bake it in. It is sweet, but not too sweet. All the spices in it give it a wonderful depth of flavor that many granola recipes lack. It is granola you can eat over something or just by itself. This is now one of my new favorite granola recipes. Thanks for such a wonderful, easy recipe.
