- Usually, granola recipes call for a neutral oil such as canola to make it crunchy and keep it from becoming sticky. If you like, you can add ¼ cup oil to the mixture before baking (along with the sweetener).
- This granola contains lots of nuts, which I find to be delicious. If you prefer less, you can reduce the total amount to 1 ½ cups.
- Omit or replace ingredients (aside from the oats and sweetener) according to your own personal taste.
- If you add dried fruit or substitute them for the dried cranberries, it’s important that you add them to the granola AFTER baking.
