Hahaha I can relate to that problem :D I'm glad you like it!

[@user-zy4xk2zl5l]

Is maple syrup less concentrated in sugar than honey?

[@sakshipandey6328]

@@user-zy4xk2zl5l no its almost the same , you can also use agave syrup

[@WampanoagNative]

I made this the other day. I added the oats,puffed kamut, mixture of quinoa and chia seeds and a 1/3 1/3 coconut flakes, 1/3 cup of crunchy peanut butter and the 1/2 c + the tablespoon of maple syrup, Came out awesome still with nice clusters added 1/3 c of cacao chips. After it was cooled. It was heavenly. Next I’ll make with my fave seeds, pumkin and pecans. Never buying granola again ! 😊

[@FeastingonFruit]

Omg your version sounds AMAZING!! Wish I could've stolen some haha😋😋 I am so happy you tried and loved the recipe, thank you for the awesome feedback!

[@FeastingonFruit]

@HeyySisterr Cooked will make the granola soggy, toasted or popped quinoa is best!

[@ayylmaooooo]

Just made this and it turned out so yummy! Used a blend of oats, shredded coconut, quinoa and cinnamon. I’ll definitely make this again

[@FeastingonFruit]

I am SO happy you liked it! And so many different ways to make it and mix it up too🤗

[@Eindrew9]

This is my staple granola recipe now, so good! I've shared it with people too and they love it. I usually put shredded coconut and cocoa powder as well :)

[@FeastingonFruit]

YAY! Aw that makes me so happy to hear, and I love the sound of your 🥥🍫 variation too!

[@SimplyAlign]

Super delish and so easy!! Thank you for this recipe we love it!!

omg I tried it with shredded coconut and its seriously gooood! much love for your channel and vids🙆🙆🙆

[@debbies9838]

Cool background music!

[@simonaa924]

what does "extra half tbsp = more clusters" mean ? you mean adding a lil more maple cyrup ?

[@FeastingonFruit]

Simona A Yep, a little extra maple syrup will make the ingredients stick together even more so you get more clusters😋

[@snowmin7116]

Is it overly sweet or like uhh pleasant sweet? I'm really sensitive to sweetness so I hope half a cup of maple syrup isn't too much 🙏

[@autumnrain7918]

I like to use almond butter and maple syrup in my granola. That might help with the sweetness factor (I have not tried this recipe, and do not know if it would affect the specific texture).

[@bhavsplate7717]

This looks incredible omg😍😍

[@FeastingonFruit]

+bhavsplate The rice crisps make it

[@kaydenpat]

Thank you for this easy recipe and especially a recipe without oil.

Yes tricky to find with granola, but this one is a favorite😋 Hope you love it!

[@kaydenpat]

@@FeastingonFruit Going to make some today. Buying granola online is way too expensive.

[@kaydenpat]

@@FeastingonFruit Love it. This is my granola recipe. Have made it several times now. I substitute honey for syrup and use coconut, dried cranberries, banana chips and walnuts. It’s easy to make and delicious. Thanks for posting.

[@heyandy3]

Thanks for sharing your version of making granola. Question? The quinoa you added, was it pre-cooked or cooked?

[@FeastingonFruit]

I toasted it first! Puffed quinoa would be great too :)

[@heyandy3]

[@saaa.aa9578]

Was the quinoa raw or quinoa crisps? Just wondering because I have both

[@FeastingonFruit]

Quinoa crisps are best, use those!

[@anastasiaigonzales]

Thank you so much!!! I tried making granola a while ago but it was soft and just not good... I guess all I needed was some maple syrup ahah. I'll be making thi soon :)

[@FeastingonFruit]

If you are trying to do it without oil, then maple syrup is a must. Mushy granola is the worst, if I wanted something chewy I would've just made rawnola😜 This recipe always turns out nice and crisp for me, so enjoy!

[@estefaniasanchez9797]

+Feasting on Fruit do you know If this works with agave syrup too? Thats the only sweetener i have right now 🤔

[@allisonlucas324]

Is it okay to eat raw quinoa?? Isn't it like eating raw rice¿

[@AnnieFireLovly]

No, as long as its soaked and sprouted its fine to eat raw

[@FeastingonFruit]

+Ally L Or you can use the popped quinoa that has been toasted first. Like this: healthyfamilycookin.blogspot.com/2012/04/popped-quinoa.html

[@FeastingonFruit]

+AnnieFireLovly Thanks for all the great answers

[@sikeedelic8348]

What can you use instead of maple syrup to bind? Would coconut sugar or date paste work?

[@FeastingonFruit]

Brown rice syrup would work. Coconut nectar would work. Agave might work. Date paste will make it soft and chewy. You could even try dissolving coconut sugar in water and boiling that down to make a syrup (like this: thecoconutmama.com/coconut-simple-syrup/).

[@sikeedelic8348]

Feasting on Fruit awesome thank you for responding!

[@carlaackermann899]

i'm going to try this immediately!!!!

[@FeastingonFruit]

Yay! Enjoy :)

[@carlaackermann899]

These turned out GREAT! I didn't use rice crispies, since I didn't have any, so I substituted them with more oats. Fantastic results. I love them with yoghurt for breakfast. I took some to the beach yesterday as a snack.

[@gracie1752]

I love your channel! What kind of camera are you using in your most recent recipe videos?

I am using a Canon Rebel T5i and 50mm lens for all my recent videos

[@bimbofied9072]

Can I use Godwin syrup instead of mayple

[@leatherxrose7743]

can you please suggest a substitute for maple syrup??

[@AnnieFireLovly]

Any type of syrup will work just have a differnt flavor, if you dont have syrup at all use any thick, liquid sweetner. This can include molasses or make your own syrup with sugar and water boiled and reduced down.

[@andyl2139]

The crunchyness is due to the sugars in the maple syrup that form into crystals when the water content is evaporated due to the heat in the oven. So you can substitute it for agave syrup, honey (if not vegan) or make your own syrup with water and sugar :)

[@FeastingonFruit]

+Vaishnavi Shekar Yep, these are both great answers. Agave, brown rice syrup, bee free honee, date syrup, any of those will work. Date paste will not however, it will just end up soggy. You need a liquid sweetener that will crystalize while baking to make it crispy :)

[@leatherxrose7743]

Thanks all of you for the suggestions. will use date syrup. Can't wait to try this

[@joyce1343]

+Feasting on Fruit Can I use applesauce

[@simonepengel5819]

Is that raw quinoa or puffed quinoa??

[@GiselleOrtiz101]

[@yunapark9179]

Bob’s redmeal oats?

[@FeastingonFruit]

Yep that's what I used! But any kind of rolled oats will work :)

[@simranbhalla9559]

Hi! How many calories does this have??

[@WampanoagNative]

3 cups dry to1/2 liquid. If I wanted to add say a half a cup of whatever I wanted how much should I adjust the maple syrup? Can I add 1/4 c peanut butter and 1/4 c seeds? Without adding more syrup? Haha

[@FeastingonFruit]

Yep, that's the ratio, so you can play with the dry ingredients within that 3 cup max and the amount of maple syrup would still be the same. But if you add peanut butter you would need to add more dry ingredients or decrease the maple syrup (although then it won't be as sweet). T

[@WampanoagNative]

Feasting on Fruit woW thank you so much for your reply! Can’t wait to make this!

[@ranaismail4830]

Ummm can you put in stead of maple syrup can you put honey

[@FeastingonFruit]

[@shellbug3100]

I just read thru a lot of comments b4 asking & in 1 response u said u can use non-vegan honey...then u said bee-free honey (sumthg I've never heard of😊) can I use regular honey from my local farmers?

[@FeastingonFruit]

+Shellbug-Michelle Greene I do not use honey simply because it is not vegan, but if you are not vegan then yes regular honey will work. And Bee Free Honee is a vegan "honey" made from apples if you are curious :) www.beefreehonee.com

[@shellbug3100]

+Feasting on Fruit ...ty, I was very curious!

[@eviefleming6570]

Do you have to add the rice krispies or can i leave it out?

[@FeastingonFruit]

You can replace them with about 1/2 cup more oats or add a different kind of cereal :)

[@lorievans7312]

Are you using whole oats or quick oats?. Thank you

[@FeastingonFruit]

I used whole, but either is fine!

[@emmalakin8469]

Can this be made without the rice crisps?

[@FeastingonFruit]

Sure! You can use any kind of cereal there, or nuts/seeds or more oats. Although if you go with more oats, reduce the amount to 3/4 cup :)

[@hannahanderson794]

I have been making this granola non stop for the past few weeks but my only problem is that I find the maple syrup makes the cereal soggy and not crispy, any recommendations?

[@FeastingonFruit]

Really!? I haven't had that issue. Are you using rice puffs by chance?

[@hannahanderson794]

+Feasting on Fruit yes I have used the same brand u used in the video as well as more mainstream brands

[@SannaPing]

+Hannah Anderson try spreading it out a bit more and cooking a bit longer at lower temperatures
