Absolutely delicious. I’ve made it several times. I use dried tart cherries in place of cranberries.
Five star for sure!

In reply to elizabeth. I actually use half rolled oats and half quick oats as it gives the granola better clumping capability!

This is my second time making this recipe! It’s a keeper. Best granola ever! I used the honey instead of maple syrup.

just made this for the first time a couple days ago and i cannot stop eating it. i did add a lot more cinnamon and also brown sugar, a little more salt, but i think it would be delicious otherwise. i used sliced almonds and sunflower seeds which paired so so so well! i never would have thought to use the sunflower seeds, thank you for the suggestion! the sliced almonds toasted and stuck really well, along with the coconut shreds, mmm. i topped it with cranberries and raisins and added about an extra 1/3 cup of fruit. i make a granola bowl with frozen strawberries and blueberries, more coconut shreds, cubed pear and almond milk. seriously delicious and so easy to make.

In reply to Kate. Hi Kate, I haven't tested it, but it sounds like it would be worth trying. If you do use it, please share the results.

The trick to have it clump is only stir it once and then let the sugars caramelize at the bottom of the pan and don’t stir it when it comes out. As it cools the caramelization will keep it clumpy:)
