Everyone I have shared this with has requested the recipe! It is easy to mix and match your preferences.

Great recipe! I tossed all the ingredients in a large bowl (including the dry fruit) and poured it onto a greased baking sheet. It took the full 30 minutes and turned out wonderful. Crunchy, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweetness.

If you look at the nutrional information, you will see that the serving size is 1/4 cup.

My husband and I both love this recipe! It's easy to make and very flavorful. We keep it in a jar and reach for it when we want a healthy snack. (I make the recipe with sunflower seeds and dried cherries, I actually add more of the cherries than the recipe calls for.)

I made this last night using agave nectar and honey to make it a little bit less sweet. Worked wonderfully. I also added a sprinkle of allspice about halfway through the cooking.

Yum! Loved this recipe! One word of caution, if you only do half the recipe, be sure to cut back the time you bake it because it gets toasted much more quickly.

ditto; what's the serving size??????????????

The recipe sounds great but I too would like to know what a serving size is.

Loved this granola. I happened to have walnuts instead of pepitas, but it was still excellent, and low fat, too.

Great recipe but lacks one critical piece of information...how much granola is a serving size? 1/4 cup? 1/2 cup?
