This happens to be only the best granola you'll ever taste in your life - I am enormously grateful to Andy Rolleri for supplying the recipe.
You may think making your breakfast cereal is a strange way to go about life, and certainly I'd never have thought I'd be the kind of person who does this, but the only big deal here is the shopping - the actual making is incredibly easy - and even there, don't be daunted by the length of the ingredients list. It means one big sortie to a health food shop and then you've got the goods to make this again and again. I love having a big jar of it in the kitchen, to eat with milk for breakfast, over yogurt and drizzled with honey late at night, or as it is, by the grasped handful, any time I pass the jar.

I am a Brit living in the US, I have been meaning, for a long time to make my own granola as shop bought here is always too highly sweetened. This has is the perfect balance of sweet to oaty. Thank you!

I made this for a Macmillan Coffee Morning. Doubling it I used 1kg of oats and then added pumpkin seeds and increased the amount of honey & applesauce, as well as the spices to balance the recipe out. Everyone that tried it loved it and has wanted the recipe. Definitely a recipe I'll use again! Thank you.

I have been a fan of granola for years and was always a little annoyed when I got to the box to find that my children had eaten it all before I had even got to a second bowl! I had seen this recipie and thought that I would give it a go and see if the children would like it also...it was gone within three days and I found that I was making more and at double portions too!! This was more of a hit than I could ever have imagined and is quite easy to adapt to different tastes!! A big thank you to Nigella for this one I think!

This is fantastic! I've never been able to buy Granola in the shops because they all contain nuts. I keep searching to see which manufacturer would eventually have me in mind! But with this recipe, I've substituted the nuts with hempseeds and pumpkin seeds. Awesome! Thanks a lot :-)

I made this granola once, and now I make it twice a month. My boyfriend loves it with homemade yogurt. Thank you so much! We don't have rice syrup available, so I've experimented substituting regular sugar, honey, and stevia as well as blends of all three. Slightly different and delicious every time. Thank you!
