• Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add all the wet ingredients into the well.

• Spread evenly on 2 cookie sheets and place in a preheated 350°F oven.
• Most important step, make sure you stir or mix the granola every ten minutes so that you don't end up with any burned pieces. It's kind of a pain but you'll regret it if you don't!
