Tips & Tricks
Don’t burn the granola! Watch as you are toasting the ingredients in the oven to make sure they don’t burn. These ingredients can go from toasted to burnt in just a short amount of time! Choose the right blender! You have to use a high-powered blender or food processor here, in order to get that smooth, creamy texture. Some blenders might not be able to fully blend the ingredients as they should be. Add extra seeds or nuts! You can add sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, or nuts like walnuts or pecans! Don’t add very hard nuts like almonds as they might not blend as well. Try different spices! Cinnamon and all spice are a great option here, but you can try pumpkin pie spice or even chai spice for a slight variation.
