Notes
Be careful while baking the granola. Keep a close watch once it has baked for 20 minutes as it burns in a wink of the eye.
Granola will crisp up as it cools down. Make sure to cool it well before transferring it to the jar.
You can add other ingredients too in this recipe as per your taste. Some of my favs are chocolate chips, shredded coconut, coconut flakes, butterscotch chips, dried cranberries, quinoa, and cocoa powder.
Add dried fruits and nuts like pistachios, almonds, hazelnuts, raisins, cranberries, etc.
Seeds like sesame seeds, chia seeds, and sunflower seeds are also great additions.
You can also add nut butter like almond butter, cashew butter, etc to the recipe.
