    As a coeliac I struggle to find a breakfast that's enjoyable, nutritious and provides fibre. I used gluten-free rolled oats (Waitrose) and left out the coconut, replacing it with pecan nuts, and use dried cranberries, for a hint of sharpness. It is a perfect combination for me. Like many posting here, I couldn't wait for my treat to cool down so the first portion, with pro-biotic yogurt, was crunchy and warm. Really delicious.

    I was getting bored of my usual breakfast cereals - so decided to try this - its delicious and so easy to make! I made it without the almonds (nut allergy) and used melted butter instead of vegetable oil...and I used mixed tropical fruits instead of berries. My husband says its better than any shop bought cereal he's ever had!!

    What a fantastic recipe!! I made it with walnuts, almonds and mixed seeds, beautiful! I have to say that it is much nicer than Dorset Cereals' Honey Granola, cheaper and better for you!! I will be making this again but next time I will try something different. Thank you.

    I usually have museli for breakfast every day. Having made this for the first time yesterday I will not be buying shop bought again!! It kept me full up until lunch time, even after an hour and a half in the gym. I use almonds and hazelnuts, and a tropical fruit mix. I think next time I'll try something different, the possibilities are endless!

    This is a fabulous recipe. I swapped the maple syrup for agave syrup. In case you don't know this a syrup made from the nectar of a cactus plant and is a third of the calories and lower GI than honey / maple syrup, etc. It's also suitable for vegans to eat (although I'm not). It still worked great. Looking forward to breakfast tomorrow!

    Most wonderful recipe I have had from the website so far. So easy to make and is really tasty and really keeps me going past lunchtime (I normally crash around 10.30 and end up in search of food). I make two or three lots in one go as we eat it most days and it stays fresh for ages. I normally add wheatgerm and flaxseed as an extra healthy boost. We serve with a variety of fruit to keep it interesting. Great with fresh green apple.

    Absolutely delish! I used raisins for my fruit as it was all I had to hand and it was completely gorgeous - not sure how you get 15 portions out of it - I don't think it will last the week!

    Wonderful stuff. I would like to go to the next stage and dry fruit from my garden to use in this recipe. Had to use honey as we can not get maple syrup here.

    The only Granola I would ever eat! I also add brazil nuts and use dried cranberries and blueberries. Perfect!
