Notes
Use Parchment Paper or Silicone Mat: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper/greaseproof paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent granola from sticking and make cleanup easier.
Low and Slow Baking: Bake your granola at a lower temperature (around 325°F or 160°C) and for a longer time. This prevents burning and allows flavours to develop gradually.
Use Rolled Oats: Use rolled oats, also known as old-fashioned oats, as they provide a nice texture and absorb flavours well.
Stirring During Baking: While baking, be sure to stir the granola halfway through to ensure even baking.
