Notes
- Make sure to keep an eye on the granola as it's baking, as it can burn quickly and no one wants burnt granola. Depending on your oven, you might need to adjust baking time. I have found that about 12 minutes or so works for me.
- Optional: You can try using dried fruits and add in to your granola. I good starting amount would be about 4 tbsp or so. Adjust to your liking.
- Granola will harden as it cools, so make sure not to overcook!
- Store at room temperature.
- Use within 2 weeks.
- Recipe makes about 4 cups total granola.
