  • 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.
