This crisp, lightly sweet mixture is great just eaten out of hand or as an ice cream topping. My husband and I grow wheat, barley and canola.—Lorna Jacobsen, Arrowwood, Alberta

This is the FAVOURITE recipe @ our house! Crunchy, flavorful, etc. I usually don't add the raisins, but have found it's delicious either way!

Please clarify nutrition info per serving. We like this but both of us must control calories.

I was worried about the carb and calorie count for this. Could these numbers be for the entire recipe and not each serving? If that were the case, then the carb count would only be 7.9g, and the calories would only be 57.4 for 1/2 cup. This sounds much more reasonable. I sure hope that is the right answer. Please let us know.

Are the calorie numbers and carb count correct for this recipe? While it sounds delicious, anyone with a weight problem couldn't even eat one serving of this a day, because there would not be any carbs left over for other food. It does sound very good though, and I wish I could eat this.

This granola is delicious and so much fun to eat, my family loves it. We make it often and keep it for family dinners or a simple movie night. It's a keeper, for sure.
