If you want to make it even healthier, consider adding blueberries, strawberries, or another fruit for additional fiber and antioxidants!

Question

How should I cook my granola to make it more crunchy?

Community Answer

Bake in the oven at 150 degrees Celsius, for about 20-30 minutes. The oil and honey makes the oats deliciously crunchy.

Question

What else can be used to replace honey as part of the binder?

Community Answer

Maple syrup is a good option, or melted butter (it depends on how clumpy it is).

Question

What will happen if I use water instead of oil in the binder?

Community Answer

If you substitute the oil for water, you will cook the oatmeal as if to you would if you were boiling it. It would definitely come out mushy. The only way you can use water in your binders is if you dilute it with the sugar and then cook the sugar until it becomes syrup consistency, much like how you would make a caramel.

Question

Can I substitute olive oil for canola oil?

Community Answer

Yes, but the taste may be a little off. If you would like to substitute canola oil, the best oils to use are peanut, corn, salad and sunflower oil.
