Tips:

Some good options include almonds, pecans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds. - Be sure to toast the nuts and seeds before adding them to the granola. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. - Use a combination of sweeteners to create a complex flavor. Maple syrup and honey are both good choices, and you can also add a bit of brown sugar for a richer flavor. - If you want your granola to be extra clumpy, add a beaten egg white to the mixture before baking. - Store your granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
