Recipe Notes
- You can make substitutions with this recipe. Substitute with equal amounts. Use what you have on hand.
- For chewy granola bake 21 minutes and stir every 7 minutes. For crunchier granola bake 30 minutes and stir every 10 minutes.
- Be sure to stir the corners of the pan. Pull the granola from the corners into the center because the corners will brown quicker than the rest of the pan.
