- Spread granola onto baking sheet in an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and, using a spatula, toss or stir granola and rearrange in an even layer. Bake for another 10 minutes, stir and rearrange again, and bake for another 5-10 minutes until granola is golden brown in color.
- Remove granola from the oven and let it cool for at least 20-30 minutes before eating. This will allow it to dry out and become crunchy.
- Serve granola over yogurt with an extra drizzle of honey, or eat it by the handful. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container.
