Notes

• Add your favorite granola mix-ins: dried fruit, coconut flakes, chocolate chips, etc.

• If cinnamon isn’t your jam, leave it out or substitute cardamom.

• Granola sometimes contains whipped egg white to help the clusters stick together, but ground flaxseed is a great plant-based alternative.
