How do you make granola crunchy?
There are a few ways to make granola crunchy. One of these ways is by baking the granola in a thin layer. Don't pile up the granola when baking it, rather use two baking trays if need be. Baking your homemade granola at a lower temperature is also key to achieving crunchy granola.
High oven temperatures can cause ingredients like nuts, seeds, and coconut to burn before the granola has properly dried out and crisped. That is why stirring your granola halfway through cooking is so important - it allows the granola to bake evenly so that the end result is a batch of crunchy and golden granola.
