Notes

Clusters- The most important thing you need to do to get good granola clusters is to not touch it when it comes out of the oven until it is fully cooled, then you can break it into clusters.
Baking time- Granola should be lightly golden rather than brown and it can turn very quickly in the oven so be sure to keep a close eye on it. Different ovens vary so be sure to check on your granola and when the edges are starting to turn from golden to brown, remove your granola and start the cooling process.
