    I didn't have the pumpkin or sunflower seeds or preserves but this granola was good anyway! It had about the right touch of sweetness and I really love molasses so this was great! I'll be making it again. It's a good basic recipe with which to create your own granola. - 10/14/08

    I see why that person made the comment about 12 tsp = 1/4 cup. In the recipe you call of 1/8 cup raw sugar but if you check the indredient details it lists it as 12 tsp. And 12 tsp is 1/4 cup. Hope this clears up your confusion. - 8/7/09

    This looks very good, make sure to be careful with the conversions. 12 tsp is 1/4 cup not an 1/8, looks great though!

    Your comment confused me. DId I make an error or did you? I didn't see anything about teaspoons in the recipe.
