Mainly concerned with sugar cals.

My kids and I made this on Saturday; it's now Tuesday, and the granola is gone already! We're going to try the carrot cake variation next weekend. I followed the recipe exactly, adding the optional flaxseed and brown sugar. I had never cooked with coconut oil before (bought some just for this granola) and I think it added the most perfect delicate coconut flavor. But... how can coconut oil be healthy with all that saturated fat? If someone could clear up my confusion I'd be most grateful... because if the stuff isn't bad I'll be using it often! Thanks for a great recipe... Saturday just might become "granola day" in our house!

Oh, boy. It's delicious. I was curious to see how it tasted before I put it in the oven, so I thought I would just take a little bite. HA! I ended up eating at least a 1/4 cup...maybe more....probably more. Thanks, Natalie! You remain my favorite. :)
P.S. Thanks so much for the baby food advice! I really appreciate it, and I'm sorry it took me so long to comment, so I could tell you that.

I've made it twice in four days and my 4-year old told me it's all she ever wants to eat for breakfast again. I substituted sunflower seeds for the nuts and slightly reduced the salt content so my son with the peanut allergy can have it too.

I can totally relate to everything you've said. I make a lot of things from scratch these days and I make my own granola as well and have really come to love it. My husband's friends at work say I'm a little hippie-ish, in jest, but I feel our family is healthier for it, so I don't mind at all! That Coconut Carrot Cake granola looks scrumptious! Can't wait to try that variation.

It's so easy once you get a good recipe. I think this is a good one. To make them stick together? Hmm... I would try adding applesauce (like a cup maybe) and then making the clusters as soon as its cool enough to handle. If you wait until it's totally cooled off, it might be too late. This is all a guess, though. Let me know if it works!
