"Delicious! Just made this and it is awesome!"
"I make double batches and eat it in a bowl with milk or mix it with my yogurt."
"Great recipe! I have to make a double batch to make it last. Very good on yogurt or just plain to snack on."
"I put 2-3 tablespoons on my Kashi cereal every morning for breakfast. It is really worth trying."
"Love this recipe!"
"Just as good if not better than store bought but I feel better about eating this. It was easy to make and 30min was just enough time. I use mine on top of yogurt or add other goodies like choc. chips to make trail mix for the kids."
"Has anyone tried adding almonds to this recipe?"
"I have tried so many granola recipes and this one finally did it for me! The only thing I left out was the banana chips as they are not my favorite. Love this recipe!"
"delicious! I actually baked mine the full length of time but did stir it often....didn't burn at all.."
"Mine almost burned, too. I will make again, only the next time I'll try 250 instead of 350 degrees and see how it goes."
