Tips:

  • Use a variety of oats. This will give your granola a more complex flavor and texture. You can use old-fashioned oats, quick-cooking oats, or steel-cut oats.
  • Toast your oats before baking. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crispy.
  • Use a good quality maple syrup. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your granola. Look for a maple syrup that is dark and amber-colored.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the granola from baking evenly.
  • Stir the granola frequently while baking. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Let the granola cool completely before storing it. This will help to prevent it from becoming too soft.
