Tips:
- Use a variety of oats. This will give your granola a more interesting texture and flavor. Old-fashioned oats, rolled oats, and quick-cooking oats all work well. You can also add in some steel-cut oats for a chewier texture.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different nuts and seeds. Almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds are all popular choices. You can also add in some dried fruit, such as raisins, cranberries, or apricots.
- Make sure your granola is well-coated with oil and honey. This will help it to crisp up in the oven. You can also add in some spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
- Bake your granola at a low temperature. This will help it to cook evenly and prevent it from burning. Stir the granola every 15 minutes or so to help it brown evenly.
- Let your granola cool completely before storing it. This will help it to retain its crunch. You can store granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
