This looks so good and easy too.  I'm totally making this today!  Thanks for the recipe  : )

I made some last night.  It is delicious.  I think I over stirred though because none of mine clumped.  I need to remember to stir just enough next time to move the bottom granola to tth top.  Not "mix" it.  I will be making my granola in the crockpot for now on.  It so much less messy!  Thanks for the idea!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU for this!!!   made some last week, and already had to make another batch!!  the  kids and my mom loved it. (she poured milk on it and ate it like cereal...and she offered to pay me to make her own batch!!!!!)

  in my second round i used about a tablespoon of flax meal per cup of oats*, a couple tablespoons of graham cracker crumbs, and 3/4c. butter and  1c. honey.  did about 3 hours in the crock pot (on low....the bottom layer burned it last time), and finished with about 20 min spread on a cookie sheet, in a 200 degree oven. it seemed to clump nicely after the oven.


* after reading a reply that said the meal was used to bind i tried more, and thought the graham cracker crumbs could help to....like a crust

I just made my first batch of granola today!  I used slivered almonds instead of walnuts and my only thought was that I couldn't get it to clump either.   I was glad to read that it was a common issue though.

It made the whole house smell wonderful and the bites I've had while it's still warm are amazing!  I never thought I could make something this simple and good!  Thanks for posting this!

Yum, thanks for the post!

I just started making granola this summer (peanut butter+almonds is my favorite flavor so far), but I never would have thought of making it in the slow cooker.  This is great because I won't have to get sweaty in the hot kitchen when making it in the summer like I did making it in the oven!

I'm making granola in the microwave right now! I wanted some for tomorrow's lunch (which I have to pack and take with me in the morning) so thought I would put it in the crockpot overnight. But you said it needed to be stirred, so didn't want to risk burning it. So far, so good!

I'm going to share my latest mix with you all.  Just another version of this that I think is divine.

1cup unpasturised honey
1/2 cup coconut oil (to replace the butter, I'm trying to cut out dairy, as I think it might be just the latest culprit in my ever growing list of sensitivities)
1tsp vanilla
2 (heaping)tbsp of fine dark cocoa powder

Chocolate granola! and it's healthy!

I also added dried cranberries, 1/2 cup of Holy crap cereal, and 1/4 cup sesame seeds (because they are high in calcium) and 1/2 cup shredded coconut.  soooo yum.
