Frequently Asked Questions
Ensure the granola has completely cooled before transferring it to an airtight container or jar. If granola is put away warm, steam will produce in the container and soften the granola.
Press the granola into a single layer on the parchment or Silpat-lined baking tray. Avoid stirring it as it bakes; rotate the pan halfway through baking. As the sugars caramelize, they help the ingredients stick together. Allow the granola to cool before breaking it into pieces.
