Notes
Note 1 Every so often, use a spatula to turn or shake up the granola so it cooks evenly. Remember the granola will continue to cook and harden once taken out of the oven so don't worry if it's not too crunchy yet.
Note 2 Cooking time will vary. We don't have a fan forced oven which meant it took less time than usual. What took us 50 minutes to make in our last oven, took only about 25 minutes in our current oven. You really need to keep an eye on it in the oven, so check it every so often to make sure it doesn't burn
