This is so good & easy! Watch the cooking times - my microwave is strong & I almost burned it. Used old-fashioned oats. Added flax & wheat bran. Pecans & walnuts. Really good. Thanks!

Really delicious, just the cook time was WAY to much, the first time i made it, it completely burned the whole thing. The second time i did a little more than half the time it said, and it was perfect! Will definitely make this again. I love eating this with my vanilla yogurt as a healthy treat. The only reason I put 4 stars is because of the cook time being to much, but the rest is a five star sort of thing.

This was very good granola! I skipped the dried fruit & used rolled oats (I think rolled oats tend to soak up flavor better). I microwaved for about half the time as stated; didn't want to burn it! This cooled quickly & hardened up nicely; I broked it up with my fingers before storing. Oh, and I used chopped pecans (I had some leftover from a cinnamon pecans recipe & needed to use them up!) The granola browns quite a lot from the cinn but once it cools, it tastes great! Will use this in my yogurt as a treat! Thank u for sharing.
