  • Add nuts and seeds. Nuts and seeds add crunch, flavor, and healthy fats to granola. Some popular choices include almonds, walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.
  • Use dried fruit. Dried fruit adds sweetness, chewy texture, and nutrients to granola. Some popular choices include raisins, cranberries, cherries, and blueberries.
  • Sweeten with honey or maple syrup. Honey and maple syrup are natural sweeteners that add a delicious flavor to granola. If you are vegan, you can use agave nectar or brown rice syrup instead.
  • Add spices. Spices can add a warm and inviting flavor to granola. Some popular choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cardamom.
  • Bake granola at a low temperature. This will help to prevent it from burning and will give it a crispy texture.
  • Store granola in an airtight container. Granola will keep for up to 2 weeks at room temperature or up to 3 months in the freezer.
