This is one of the worst recipes I`ve ever tried. I used natural peanut butter (just peanuts) and the amount of oil called for, and it was such a pool of oil that no matter how long I kept it in the over (even tried it on the convection setting), it refused to dry out, and is still just a greasy mess. I also left it in so long, trying to dry it out, that it got slightly singed, a taste I actually don`t mind, but it`s still so greasy, I can`t imagine using it like regular granola, in a bowl with milk on it.

I made this and it is so oily nothing sticks together. Am I doing something wrong? I did use Skippy no sugar added peanut butter.

Definitely considering this recipe for a go this weekend. Is substituting almond butter for the peanut butter an option that would work well for this?
