I prepared this recipe with no sugar, just using Splenda (1/2 cup). It was delicious! - 12/7/09

I cut the oil to 1/4 cup and reduced the sugar by half a tsp. and it turned out really well! - 9/29/09

I just made this recipe today and cannot rave enough about how good it tastes! Sweet and a bit crispy, I had trouble putting the batch away instead of eating it. My only complaint is that the calorie count may be a little off; I measured everything I used and came up with 3458 calories, which is 2 - 3/19/09

I loved this! It turned out I need to cook it a little less next time. It smells great and tastes great! I used less sugar and oil. It tastes great with plain yogurt and by itself. - 3/20/09

This is wonderful!! Hubby doesn't like to sweet granola so I used half the gran. sugar, half the br. sugar, and only 1/3 c. oil. My kitchen smelled heavenly! - 1/10/08
