So tasty! The peanut butter really adds to the taste. Followed directions exactly and it turned out perfect (including soaking the raisins so they weren’t like little rocks)

This recipe is just what it says: tried and true. Soooooooo amazingly delicious , easy to make and healthy . Thanks to the useful tips it did not burn but became perfectly crispy crunchy. I added dried cranberries , raisins and gojiberries after baking. The only hard part was waiting for it to cool 😉

Thank you for the recipe, it’s delicious. I just wanted to ask: should I use the buckwheat without soaking it? It seems very hard. Should I rinse it or cook it first?

In reply to Kerry. The texture should have been clumpy and great if you spread it out on a very large pan. I hope you liked it!!

In reply to Teri-Ann Carty. The recipe says 1-2 pans. I put mine on only 1 very large pan before I read through the comments. I would have used 2 if that is better. Please say that in the recipe. Makes it confusing. Hopefully mine turns out the way I like. :)

HI from cold Toronto! So I LOVE using olive oil and no you can’t taste it. If you are worried you can use coconut oil but I love the health benefits of olive oil. I would stay clear of canola but avocado would be ok too. The nut or tahini will be mixed into the other liquid in a pot over low heat. It should eventually dissolve into the oil, maple syrup and vanilla mixture. If you are adding chocolate chips you can add after its cooled and you don’t have to omit anything else 🙂 If you don’t have the groats add more of your fave ingredient whether that is seeds or nuts.
Thank you for asking such thoughtful questions. It will help someone else :))))

Hello Teri, Thank you for sharing your granola recipe, I never tried preparing it at home before so i’m a bit worried! Anyways, my first question is about olive oil, will the granola be tasting olive oil? I have no problem with olive oil but not sure the taste will be recognized. I live in Montreal and I have the extra version Terra Delyssa brand, so is it ok to use in your recipe? I also have avocado oil, coconut oil and canola oil. Please advise. My second question is about the peanut butter. I have it without any additives but it becomes very thick of course we are in December and also tahini so which you recommend first ? My last question, if I want to make another batch with dark chocolate pieces, what should I omit ? Or add ? Or adjust ? Finally, if I don’t have hemp seeds or buckwhear grouts, should i omit them or replace with other sees? Thank you
