In reply to Deb. Hi Deb, yes if they are already roasted, you might find them overdone if you cooked the entire time. I would try adding halfway through and see how those turn out.

In reply to Pam Blaufuss. Hi Pam, I prefer the recipe as written and get great clumps as long as I follow the tips for clumps. Others in the comments have said they had good luck with egg whites.

In reply to Barb E.. Hi Barb, yes, many have experimented with different add ins with great results. I would just adjust the overall volume of nuts, oats and seeds to keep the amount of oil and maple syrup the same.

Love this recipe. I sometimes add some cayenne pepper to it and I drizzle melted white chocolate for my grandkids. Love your Australian Shepard, gorgeous markings.

I have been making this granola ever since I got your book years ago, Kate. I never think to come back in and comment on this recipe or other recipes. All my family and friends know how much I love all your recipes. If something new shows up at a meal, I am often asked if this another “Kate” special.
I have tried all your versions of granola and they are good too but this sooooo good!
Keep up the great work and I will try to get in more often to comment.
By the way, your Caesar salad dressing is known throughout our city. Anyone who has Caesar salad here always wants the recipe.

This granola recipe is my favorite and I’ve been making it every month for the last couple of years. Definitely don’t need to look at the recipe as it’s ingrained in my brain. I love the combination of coconut oil and maple syrup. And, pecans! Thank you for upping my game in the kitchen. I love your cookbook and have a special binder for your recipes printed of your web page.

This looks delicious! I love making granola but haven’t done so in a while, so I think it’s time to try this one. Can I include some hemp hearts or ground flax seeds? And if so, would I need to adjust any measurements of oats or oil or ?? Thanks!

This recipe ticks all the boxes!
I USED to make my old tried and true granola recipe that took forever to make.
I am a convert! This is better than my old recipe and 10 X easier to make.
YOU NAILED IT!!
