Hi Gemma,
Delicious recipe….substituted pecans for salted peanuts and omitted the extra salt…..saved to favourites ❤️ Love your recipes….made lemon curd ice cream after making both the lemon curd and condensed milk…I’m sure if I kept a cow I could make double cream and hard cheese…using your recipes of course! Love your videos too….
Hey i tried your recipe. Hands down the best recipe for granola. My son absolutely loved it. Thank you so much. I didn’t have pecans and maple syrup so i substituted with coconut shavings, almonds and honey. Definitely will make a big batch again. Thanks once again
Hi Gemma, love the granola break cereal, but really dislike coconut, can l replace it with peanut butter? Or do you have something brilliant as an alternative tucked away in that head of yours.👍👍
Hi…. Can I use this granola mixture to prepare muffins???
Just made this granola and it is delicious, can wait to have with yogurt and fruit.
Hi Jemma! I live in a country where granolas can be pretty expensive and I’ve been loving this recipe. Thank you so much for sharing. I was wondering, is there anyway I can make these bite-sized (similar to energy balls maybe?) so my toddler can hold it and eat it?
Hi Gemma,
We love this as a base. We use vanilla and cinnamon, as well as other nuts, craisins, and dates. It never makes it two months! Trust me!
2 questions.
Gemma
I’ve made this and it’s good but what
Can I do to make it clump more
Ingredient questions. Can I use something other than Maple syrup? Is this shredded coconut used, sweetened or unsweetened coconut? Thanks!!!
Hi! I’ve been loving this granola recipe. Is there anyway I can make this without sugar? Can I just skip the sugar? Or would that mean I may need to increase the amount of maple syrup? What do you suggest?
