Linda S: Yes, quite easy to find at more gourmet food stores/grocery stores. I use Medaglia D'Oro brand (green lid). Good luck! goletagoleta: I believe this is from Crate and Barrel a few years ago... Recipe: Salted Coffee Caramel Sauce Recipes from The Kitchn Flag this comment	5/23/12 4:39 PM

Oh @FOODLOVAH! Do they?! I used to live in the Bay Area and Arizmendi was one of my favorite spots -- must've just not been paying attention. I'll keep an eye out next time. Dessert Recipe: Cornmeal Lime Cookies Recipes from The Kitchn Flag this comment	5/9/12 2:44 PM
@amendelblatt I have actually never done them with frozen berries, and I do think they wouldn't turn out quite the same due to the differing moisture levels. Anyone else tried it? Roasted Strawberries: 5 Swoon-Worthy Dessert Recipes Flag this comment	5/8/12 6:39 PM
@chezus: You know I buy them bulk here in Seattle from PCC (our coop) b/c they're so fresh and you can buy them in singles which I love. I do really dig vanilla paste though, too -- just happen to be out right now! What's the Difference? Vanilla Extract, Vanilla Bean, Vanilla Paste Flag this comment	4/26/12 1:34 PM
Wow, @skysky: I had no idea! Thanks for the tip. Spring Appetizer Recipe: Goat Cheese Rapini ToastsRecipes from The Kitchn Flag this comment	4/24/12 3:48 PM
@KPGILLES No, thank you for bringing Deb's recipe to my attention, and for taking the time to voice your concern. Let me know how you like the recipe! @RLSCOTT Regular mango would work just fine and I think canola oil should be o.k. I often use coconut oil as a straight substitute. My inclination is that I'd start with 1 tablespoon less of the canola oil though (the mango has a great deal of liquid) -- let me know how it goes!

@KPGILLES Thank you so much for the comment regarding Smitten Kitchen's muffins. I am a big fan of Deb's work and all of us at The Kitchn would most certainly note when we adapt a recipe from another source. This actually wasn't the case here. I've been baking with coconut oil for a few months now and knew that I wanted to use the Whole Foods mangoes in a muffin that combined oats, oat flour, sour cream (my favorite fat source for morning muffins) and coconut. I think the similarity is more coincidental than anything, but thank you for raising the question and concern.

@akay Funny, they don't have poofy tops, you're right. Because of the higher moisture content and the heft of the oats and oat flour, they won't have that light, airy quality that some people love in their muffins. I actually love a little heartier muffin, so these were a hit in our house. Bright Morning Recipe: Coconut Mango Oat MuffinsRecipes from The Kitchn Flag this comment	4/4/12 8:21 PM
@maestro58 I'm so sorry, we don't. While we don't add any processed sugar to the granolas, we do use a little maple syrup, so it's certainly not sugar free. I wish you the best of luck finding something or experimenting on your own. ~Megan How to Make Better Granola: 5 Helpful Tips Flag this comment	4/4/12 12:53 AM

@mehndimegs Ahh...great idea! @cmcinnyc I've used tahini in cookies as well and it's pretty dreamy. Great tip! Delicious and Innovative: 5 Surprising Cookie Mix-Ins Flag this comment	3/30/12 4:11 PM
@mcs3000: THANK YOU! @BOSTON_KAT: It's really the oil. And the bowls are from Heath Ceramics. A little spendy, but I used to work in the outlet where I stocked up! @Nowweare6: Melissa Clark's Olive Oil granola recipe is quite good. Not the same as ours, but shares many elements. Happy baking!

Hi @Engineergirl: Not all beans have the same cooking time and chickpeas work so well because they're small little guys but are soft on the inside. If you're going to try another bean, I'd try something similar in size. Let us know how they turn out!

@neilw , @wordkt @Mdorothy @Greybeard @ AllisonNF Thank you all for noticing this small proofing error. We've not fixed it -- #2 refers to sea salt although truthfully it could refer to kosher salt as well. Both have those nice, large irregular grains that are great for savory cooking. Thank you all for your astute comments. Salt away! Demystifying Salt: 3 Essential Types Flag this comment	3/22/12 1:43 AM
@INDYCOTE Read Melissa Clark's piece on it: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/02/dining/02Appe.html?pagewanted=all. It's now considered a good fat; I personally love the flavor it imparts.

@ LASOMNAMBULE I used to throw mine away, too! But I chop them up and add them to stir-fries or even pasta sauces. Less waste! @EMILYLENTINI Glad you liked them! Maybe a little more oil on the bottoms next time? Or even cooking spray would be great, too. Easy Breakfast Recipe: Kale and Goat Cheese Frittata Cups Flag this comment	3/7/12 6:57 PM
