Notes
-
- For a perfectly crunchy granola, opt for quick oats. While old-fashioned oats can also be used, they may take longer to cook to achieve the crispy texture.
-
- It can be tempting to up the temperature and have your granola ready quicker. However, it's best to bake granola for longer at a lower temperature! This results in delicious, crunchy granola every time.
-
- Granola can burn pretty easily so stirring it often is important.
-
- It's best to add any dried fruit to the granola at the end. Baking dried fruit can make it hard and difficult to chew.
-
- Make a double batch so you have lots to snack on throughout the week! Granola is one of the easiest meal preps.
