I used Splenda brown sugar mix for this recipe. It's got half the sugar but all the sweet flavour. I will be doubling up this recipe next time.<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"08\/18\/2011 20:23","GUID":"752b9e9a175946e78122f2f20462369f","MemberId":5876533,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Shannon O","SubmittedDate":"08\/18\/2011 20:23"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"05\/13\/2011 16:00","GUID":"0DC9A67A3356459BBEB00F7088688398","MemberId":968545,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"teriox2","SubmittedDate":"05\/13\/2011 16:00"},{"Comment":"
In fact I make this cereal about every two weeks. I use 3\/4 cup brown sugar instead of the 1 1\/2 c and its just fine. I also add 1 c of sliced almonds and 1 c coconut as well as 1 c of mixed dried cherries instead of the apricots. I also add cinnamon and nutmeg both and when its done cooking I sprinkle a few mini coc chips on top and wait till its cooled and place in storage container. My hubby and I eat this every morn for breakfast. It certainly cut the cereal budget as it is cheaper and far healthier to eat. I buy the oats at Sams club and the dried fruit too.<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"01\/18\/2011 10:04","GUID":"5B895A7927F54A55AB8F0C7D4AEEF1E3","MemberId":612815,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"rleonhar95","SubmittedDate":"01\/18\/2011 10:04"},{"Comment":"

When I saw the sugar content of this granola, I decided to experiment with the recipe and reduce the brown sugar to 1\/2 cup (I used 2 Tbsp and a tsp of water). Unfortunately, the result was that the granola cooked more quickly and burnt by the time it had been in the oven for 20 minutes. The dried cranberries were nearly black. The potential of this recipe is wonderful, however, (the unburnt granola is delicious) and definitely worth a try. Just keep in mind that if you reduce the sugar, reduce the cooking time as well!<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"07\/21\/2010 09:36","GUID":"d423f6142e364e9c96ec0e939d60c4d8","MemberId":3758696,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"ohiocook","SubmittedDate":"07\/21\/2010 09:36"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":309177,"name":"Recipes","slug":"recipes","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":309112,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Browse Taste Recipes recipes by course, cooking style, cuisine, ingredient, holiday and more categories to find a new family-favorite recipe.","parent":0,"count":50832,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","url":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/"},{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
