  4. Step 4

    Spread the granola over two lined baking trays.

  5. Step 5

    Bake the granola for 20 minutes. Mix the granola 10-15 minutes into the baking time to prevent the edges from burning.

Hot tip!

The oven is at a lower temperature than normal because the sweeteners and nuts are likely to burn easily.
