*This can be baked on two baking sheets for faster cooking and bigger chunks. Spread it evenly over both before baking and check at 35 minutes. Stir to break up slightly and then check every 10 minutes until golden brown.

*Stir more frequently if you prefer a looser, less chunky granola. Every 15 minutes, and immediately after removing from oven.

*Recipe can be doubled but more than that requires a bigger pan.
