I found this granola to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more spices or maybe some dried fruit.

This granola is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less honey next time.

I've tried a lot of granola recipes, but this one is by far the best. It's so easy to make and it always turns out perfect. I love the way the cranberries and nuts toast up in the oven.

This granola is the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The cranberries add a nice pop of flavor and the nuts give it a nice crunch. I love to eat it with yogurt and fruit in the morning.

I made this granola for my daughter's school bake sale and it was a huge success! The kids loved it and I even had several parents asking for the recipe. It's definitely a keeper.
