Notes

tips

• use coconut oil spray on the spatula to flatten the granola mixture with ease (neutral flavor + already used in the recipe)
• granola cooling : this step is vital in getting a crunchy granola as well as those big clusters that we all love
• honey can be swapped for maple syrup to make it vegan
• for the food processor anything that fits 5+ cups would be perfect, i use the Cuisinart 14 cup
