Author Notes

We are lovers of granola. My husband and daughter douse theirs each morning with Straus milk while I prefer mine with Straus plain yogurt. It's often snacked on between meals as well. This is our most recent favorite. I've found inspiration from Nigella Lawson and the guys at Baked Bakery and turn to their recipes time and again. —maryjo

This is delicious, but I think the recipe would be much easier to follow if you listed the ingredients in the order in which they are used. I didn't read the instructions carefully enough (my fault, of course) and when I saw the ingredients list divided into wet and dry, I assumed the dry ingredients would all be mixed together and accidentally added the flax meal and almonds to the oats and had to pick them out when I read a little further. If they had been listed after the wet ingredients, I would have known just from looking at the list of ingredients that they are added later. In any case, very tasty granola.
