        Dried fruit isn’t necessary; it’s just good. Some people might prefer a little more maple syrup or other sweetener if leaving the dried fruit out. Or just top with fresh fruit when you’re ready to eat it.

    I am so making this on Saturday for the rest of the week! And the best part is that I actually have all of the ingredients in my pantry right now. I love a recipe where I don’t have to run to the store and gather a million ingredients!

    Just discovered your blog. Great looking recipes! Congrats on the weight loss and keeping it off. I’ve never cooked with dried pineapple. I was thinking about making pineapple nutmeg cookies. Dried pineapple would be good in them!

    Andie could you come up with some “cholesterol reducing” as opposed to “ cholesterol friendly ” recipes? Very hard to find a good selection of recipes that can actually help reduce cholesterol. I am talking about a proper hot meal that has cholesterol reducing properties. Would be lovely if you could. Something creative, interesting and really tasty. I know you are the master of that.

    I have never been a fan of dried fruits but your recipes and the way they look make it almost impossible for me not to try it out. I will be trying this and will keep you posted on how it goes. Well done on the weight loss.

    It looks so delicious and less time consuming in making. It will be a treat for the breakfast, a healthy and low calorie breakfast.

    This looks delish!!! Can’t wait to make it and have it w/my plain old greek yogurt! Was wondering if i could use coconut oil instead of the vegetable oil… what do you think?

    I love this granola. Today I’m going to make a batch and a half, and see how that works out in my cookie sheet. It goes so fast. As far as substituting other dried fruit, I would say any dried fruit could be substituted, and I made it once with half pineapple, half Craisins, but the pineapple is especially good. I chop it small enough to get at least one chunk in every bite. It’s sweet and tart and sunny and happy yellow.

    The dried fruit doesn’t go in until the granola is already done, so just use any dried fruit of your choice – raisins, Craisins, figs, apricots, etc., – or leave it out and top it with fresh fruit when you’re ready to eat it. Really really good!
