Tips, Tricks and Extras

Try melting some chocolate into your granola to make it extra decadent.
Add crushed peanuts into the mix along with dried cherries.
While your granola is cooking in the oven from time to time look in on it and turn the mixture with a spoon or metal spatula to keep it from burning and to help it to evenly cook.
You can substitute the organic cane sugar for brown sugar, stevia, maple syrup or any sweetener of your choosing.
