This is the first time I made granola and I'm sold on homemade. The only thing I did differently is that I used coconut oil and I added a little almond extract. My coconut is shredded so you can't even tell it's in the granola. Thanks again! Thank you for this recipe. This is the first time I made granola and I’m sold on homemade.

Like a lot your commentors, I used the basic recipe and substituted what I have on hand. I used dehulled hemp seeds instead of flax, and I had a blood orange olive oil around (I have no idea why) and it made it taste great! I omitted the brown sugar and used a mixture of agave and honey. I am a huge coconut fan and I love the raw, unsweetened chips in it. I can't wait to try the bars! Very, very good!

I used salted sunflower seeds and pistachios. My kids said that the granola is too "salty". I guess I'll know for next time but wonder what I should do now with a double batch of granola that my family isn't too keen on..... Somehow I must have messed this up.

They go through the digestive system undigested. The only way the can be beneficial is if they are ground so the oils can be released. You can google it yourself but here's some info: http://www.livestrong.com/article/272746-how-to-grind-flaxseed/ Sorry if this is a repeat to a previous post. I didn't read all 150 posts to see if someone let you know this :) But for nutritional purposes you may want to amend your recipe. Sure am looking forward to making this granola! My kids and DH love granola (and I love how it makes my house smell SO good!) I may have to come back and post my results! Thank you! Btw, using flax seeds whole have no nutritional benefit.

Have always wanted to make granola and I decided that today was the day. It is so good! I will use coconut oil next time. I also cooked it at 350 for the first 10, then cranked it up to 375 for 15 more. Perfect for my oven. I will NEVER buy granola again! Thank you for a wonderful recipe. Pinned. Yum!
