Fruit And Honey Granola

(10 servings)

  • 3 and 1/2 cups quick or old fashioned oats - uncooked
  • 1 and 1/4 cup diced dried mixed fruit (like cranberries and apricots)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup coarsely chopped pecans
  • 4 Tablespoons butter or margarine - melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Only at MrBreakfast.com will you find this kind of truth in a granola recipe: Don't bother with this recipe. It's lame. Instead try our Maple Pecan Granola Clusters (my go-to granola) or peruse our homemade cereal section. The problem with the Fruit And Honey Granola is that you don't taste the honey. The 350 degree heat is too high. The batch of granola you see here was overly-browned at 20 minutes (it's supposed to cook for 30 minutes). If you do make this recipe, I strongly recommend cutting the temperature to 325 degrees. (This recipe was submitted in 2004. It was tested and photographed in March 2014.)
