I made some today. I added 1/2 c brown suger and 1/6 cup splenda to cut down on carbs. Also substituted walnuts for the peanuts. And I used dried blueberries as the fruit.

If I make them again, I'll cut down even more on the sugar. I think 1/2 cup instead of 2/3 cup should be plenty.

Even so, it came out great. Easy to make, and something I can eat on the go. Much healthier than the breakfast bars at the grocer.

Ooops! Please forget about my former post – no need to answer it anymore. This was a case of ‘negative hallucination’ as I went over the recipe countless times without ’seeing’ the answer, but just now went over it again, and ‘voila’ there it was!

I’m confused: The original recipe says you’re supposed to heat the oven to 400 degrees, but then there is never a step saying when to put the granola into the oven! Or do you only need the oven to toast the oatmeal and nuts – and for how long? Your answer is greatly appreciated and awaited!

I tried to make these with chocolate chips as well and the same think happened to me! HAHA!! I still would like to try again with the chips, but I’m afraid if I let the mixture cool too much before adding the chips, it will be too hard to stir. Oh, well.

[...] Wendolonia played with my granola recipe a little too much the first time, and wasn’t happy with the results, but when she tried again (and stayed closer to the original) she was very pleased with her granola outcome. [...]

How you know that these will keep for weeks is BEYOND me. We have already finished the batch I made last weekend and I am making another for today!
