Tips:
- Use a variety of oats for a more complex flavor and texture. Rolled oats, quick-cooking oats, and steel-cut oats can all be used in this recipe.
- If you don't have any brown sugar, you can use white sugar instead. However, brown sugar will give the granola a slightly richer flavor.
- Add your favorite nuts and seeds to the granola. Some popular options include almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds.
- Use a slow cooker liner to make cleanup easier. Simply line the slow cooker with a parchment paper liner before adding the granola ingredients.
- Be sure to stir the granola occasionally during the cooking process. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
