reginald. your recipe sounds great, but may i give a suggestion? add a protein powder(either whey or soy) to up the protein. it doesn't alter the flavor all that much. thanks for the recipe…

[Worth Donaldson]

You are absolutely correct. Vanilla flavored whey powder goes great with the Christmas Granola!

Great recipe!

I've been using maple and dates together for a long time in our hot breakfasts. My son just adores it on a cold winter morning before we walk to school. I love the flavors.

Another really great way to up the protein is to use quinoa instead of oatmeal. It works really well and gives you all of your aminos.
