This was so easy to make and an easy way to get the kiddo to add more sustenance to his morning yogurt.

I’ve made two batches of this granola. The first was a bit too oily. The second batch I reduced the oil by half and replaced that with 1/3 cup ground flax seed. I also baked it at 275 for 1 1/2 hours. The second batch, in my opinion, is way better than the original recipe.
We also prefer a chunkier granola so I eliminate the mixing during baking.

The taste is amazing, but there is too much residual oil left, so you get greasy hands when eating. Any recommendations on how to remedy this?

I love this recipe! This is the perfect sweetness and texture. Try it if you’re considering it.

Love of the flavor of this granola recipe but how can I get more clumps? This is very easy to make.
