Skim milk turns this crunchy snack into a healthy breakfast cereal, while a dollop of low-fat yogurt makes it a delicious dessert. Try adding a little baking cocoa to the brown sugar for a flavor twist. -Deborah Purdue of Freeland, Michigan.

I didn't have any cherries on hand, so I used dried cranberries instead. It was still delicious!

I'm allergic to almonds, so I substituted chopped walnuts in this recipe. It turned out great!

This granola is delicious, but it's a bit time-consuming to make. I think I'll only make it on special occasions.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my granola turned out a bit too dry. I think I'll add a little more butter next time.

This granola is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of honey next time.
