Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients until evenly combined.
- Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread mixture in a thin, even layer across the pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until granola is golden brown.
- Cool completely before transferring to an airtight container.
Tip: Granola will crisp up as it cools. For chunkier granola, press down the mixture before baking and avoid stirring mid-bake.
