For a richer flavor, toast the oats and nuts separately before combining. This brings out their inherent sweetness and adds another layer of complexity. Feel free to experiment with different nuts and seeds. Pecans, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, or flax seeds would all be delicious additions. If you prefer a sweeter granola, increase the amount of honey or brown sugar to your liking. You can also add dried fruits like raisins, cranberries, or chopped dates after baking for a touch of chewy sweetness. Store the cooled granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
