Here is my really excellent, and very healthy granola. Put in as many nuts and seeds as you feel like, and dried fruits, raisins, etc. after it bakes. The dry ingredients are always measured a little heaping, and if there is a little left in the bag, I throw that in too. Doesn't ever seem to matter. I put in lots of cinnamon and almond extract, and always use maple syrup, but honey is good too.
