Back to Nature Classic Granola Cereal - Gluten Free, Non-GMO, Plant Based Snacks made with Whole Grain Rolled Oats - 12.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)

UPDATE:After years of buying this it finally struck me that all it is, is sweetened toasted oats, for which I'm paying $7.50 a pound. Oats were just on sale here for 69 cents a pound. I think I've had this idea that if I tried making it at home, it wouldn't turn out right without oil. Also, like a lot of people, I don't always have time to make everything homemade, so I'm very happy that this product is available. My daughter is now away at school so we go through this a lot more slowly and I didn't want to buy a sixpack. I decided to risk a few dollars experimenting with making it at home.There are lots of recipes floating around the web. I decided to start out simple. This will make one cookie sheet's worth: 3 cups old fashioned oats (I bought organic for $1.39/pound), 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, about 1 1/2 tablespoons water. Heat up the water and sweeteners till dissolved. Pour onto the oats, mix well. Spread thinly on lightly buttered nonstick cookie sheet. Bake at 300 degrees, stirring every 7 minutes or so. Bake about 25 minutes total, till golden. It will still seem soft and moist. Leave it on the cookie sheet to cool. It will crisp up as it cools. Wait till cool to bag or jar it up.Various tips: Of course you can add nuts, wheat germ, anything you like. Some people bake on parchment paper. To avoid mess, I always mix granola in a deep soup pot. If you use a bowl it wants to slip out as you stir. I warmed the pot and oats (VERY SLIGHTLY) thinking that would make it easier to mix in the sweetener; it was very easy to mix in. Some people use fruit juice concentrate as part or all of the sweetener. Maple syrup sounds yummy for my next batch.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I've been buying this for some time. It's expensive but I only eat it once in a while. But now my teenage daughter has discovered it and I can hardly keep the pantry stocked. So I'm glad I thought to check on amazon. With Subscribe and Save it's cheaper than I ever find it in the store (and only one store in my area carries it).What a great food for a teenager to be eating! She makes a parfait with granola, berries and yogurt.Ingredients: whole grain rolled oats, evaporated can juice, pineapple juice concentrate, pear juice concentrate, peach juice concentrate, vitamin E, natural flavor.It is very hard to find granola without added fat. And I really dislike puffed things like rice krispies in granola and it's hard to find that too.

It's perfect to go with yogurt or milk. Great taste, and just sweet enough.

No está mal pero no es mi favorito

I starting getting this to eat as a snack to stave off hunger and it does pretty good for that, but despite its healthy demeanor it is still not the greatest for you considering its amount of sugar. Please be careful in thinking this is healthy and wharfing it down.

This cereal is crunchy and delicious- just what granola should be- and most importantly to Me- it is made without sugar! Add fruit and nuts and I could live on the stuff. Yummy!

very little taste and very dry; tastes a little like raw oats.

This was tooth breaking hard until milk was absorbed. I gave it away as I wanted to munch on it as a snack.

This is the best plain granola I've come across. Even my 21 month old loves this stuff, and she's quite the picky eater! Excellent source of fiber and whole grains to go with breakfast or an evening snack. And this package offered by Amazon is the best deal I've come across anywhere. The grocery store jacks the price of this by a single bag around so much it gives me whip lash. I pay between a 1/5 and 1/4 of the price of this six pack at the grocery store for ONE. At the very least I'm getting one free by buying this way. Definetly a deal, worth the money and excellent quality.
