Recipe Tips
- Oats: You can use old fashioned rolled oats or quick oats.
- Sweetener: Use maple syrup or honey.
- Oil: Use melted coconut oil or butter.
- Stir half way! Make sure to stir the mixture half way through the baking time. You might need to stir it a couple times closer to the end of the baking time to prevent burning.
- Storage: Keep the baked granola in an airtight container in your pantry, no need to refrigerate.
