Ingredients

Wet

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300F
In a small bowl, stir together wet ingredients.
In a large bowl, toss together dry ingredients.
Add wet ingredients to dry and fold well.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper (or just one - you can split the batch, baking one half at a time)
Bake the granola for 20-25 minutes. Granola should look slightly browned and toasted.
Remove from oven and repeat if you are splitting the batch. Granola will harden as it cools.

Notes

Don't overcrowd your baking sheet - you want granola evenly spread across the sheet about ¼" tall. Overcrowding leads to uneven toasting. If you bake and the edges of granola are browned but the center is not, you may have overcrowded the pan. Simply remove the toasted granola, spread the untoasted around the pan, and bake longer.
