I love this recipe! I leave out the honey (everything else makes it sweet) and I add sliced almonds. It’s great on Uncle Sam unsweetened cereal or plain yogurt.

I’m not really sure, I would guess 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup…it’s hard to stop eating, isn’t it?

I never soak them first.

Just wondering about how much a serving size would be for this? Trying to make sure I don’t over eat on the deliciousness! This in the morning with homemade yogurt! YUM!

Do you need to soak the steep cut oats first? They are so hard…

I’ve never tried, it would be fine I think, just extra crunchy. Enjoy!

Can I just use steel cut oats?

This was surprisingly good! I turned to your recipe because I had run out of regular flaked oats, and wondered whether I could still make granola with steel cut. I made the following modifications:
- I cooked it longer and slower. About 40 minutes at 250′F and then 40 minutes at 275′F.
- I substituted pomegranate molasses for half of the honey. It has less sugar, and lends a nice fruity tangy flavour.
- I used half raisins and half dried cherries, which made it taste even fruitier.

P.S. It turned out MEGA-awesome!!!! The only trouble is stopping eating it! Hubby used it as a topping to his ice cream….so good!

Hi there, I saw a recipe from the barefoot contessa and was going to try that, but I wanted to substitute some items and I stumbled upon your recipe. This is my first time making granola (my aunt and uncle have been making homemade granola for years, and I haven’t even tried their recipe–must try that one next…) I wanted to share my combination with you (as I’m thrilled with how it smells in my kitchen right now! and thank you for your post!!)
I used both the rolled oats and steel cut oats and slivered almonds. I added cacao nibs, chia seeds, flax seeds and chia omega. To the honey, vanilla and safflower oil, i added cinnamon, and for the fruit, I used raisins, golden raisins, turkish apricots and semisweet chocolate chips. Oooh! There went the timer! Will post how it turns out…
