    I have made this numerous times as written and with modifications and it’s delicious. I do think the best variation adds many more nuts (peanuts were particularly fabulous), using whole almonds and roasting them from the start, stirring granola half way through and/or more is a must. Raisins are fantastic too, just add them very late so they don’t burn but a little oven time helps them bloom a bit.

    Make sure to watch it the last 15 minutes. Took mine out 2 minutes early because it was getting too dark and could have burned.. it’s delicious however!!

    Made for the 1st time today. Only had 3 1/2 cups of quinoa flakes so cut syrup and evoo and other ingredients in half. Dried out beautifully. Had to reduce baking time…added almonds at 30 minutes, put back in oven, turned off heat and left it for 10 minutes. Yummy recipe…had some on Greek yogurt for lunch. I think for 5 cups I would split between 2 baking sheets.

    I’m a big fan of homemade granola and love the combo of ingredients in this recipe! I swapped pecans for walnuts. Like others I found my batch didn’t dry out well and seems oily. Yes I had it spread evenly and in a single layer on parchment. Next time I’ll try by reducing the amount of olive oil.

    I make homemade granola all the time and have used many different recipes. This recipe was simple and so delicious! I substituted a 1/2 cup of the almonds with pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. I enjoyed it mixed into some yogurt; can’t wait to try it simply with some milk.

    This is delicious! Sweet, salty, and savory! At first it didn't dry out, but then once I put it in Tupperware overnight, it did dry out. I think all the olive oil is necessary so that the maple syrup isn't so sticky. This tastes pretty awesome over Greek yogurt!

    These never dried…even with additional low/slow oven. Too much EVOO or syrup? I halved the recipe…checked amounts 3 times. I see no other reviews. Hmmmmm????
