Wow! This granola tastes fantastic! Only problem I had was that the barley never got soft enough, so it's a bit hard to eat. I used pearl barley and used the longer cooking time. I will definitely be making this again, but next time I'll substitute steel cut oats for the barley. Thanks ellie for a great idea, please see my rating system.

My son was able to get spelt flakes in one of the natural food markets he frequents when he's down in Orange Co, so I was able to follow this recipe right on down! I did add some raisins after it was all done & had A VERY NICE TASTING GRANOLA! I'm intrigued with the spelt & will be on the lookout for the flour to use in several recipes ~ The flakes have an unusual (but great) taste (more nutty then whole wheat flakes)! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Newest Zaar]
