I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the pecans from this recipe. It still turned out great!

I added some dried cranberries to my granola and it was delicious! I think I'll try adding different dried fruits next time.

I didn't have any pecans, so I used walnuts instead. It still turned out great!

My granola turned out a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less maple syrup next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my granola turned out too dry. Maybe I didn't add enough liquid.
