Notes
Use parchment paper: Makes cleanup fast and prevents sticking.
Don’t overbake: Granola crisps as it cools, so pull it before it gets too dark.
Use the lowest oven rack: This means your granola is closer to the heating element so it will crisp up even faster.
Press for clusters: When you add the granola mixture to the parchment paper lined tray, really press it down. This makes the ingredients stick together better and will result in nice chunky clusters.
