Tips:

  • Utilize a variety of oats: Steel-cut, rolled, and quick-cooking oats each offer unique textures and flavors; combining them creates a more satisfying granola.
  • Nuts and seeds add crunch and flavor: Choose from a wide selection, such as almonds, pecans, walnuts, flax, chia, and pumpkin seeds. You can also add dried fruits like cranberries, raisins, and cherries for a sweet and tangy touch.
  • Control the sweetness: Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to suit your preference. You can also add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger for a warm and inviting aroma.
  • Pay attention to baking time: Keep a close eye on the granola as it bakes to prevent burning. The edges should be golden brown, and the granola should be fragrant and crispy.
  • Store properly: Granola can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. For longer storage, keep it in the freezer for up to six months.
