How can I make my own granola

Sure! Here are six different ways to make your own granola:

. **Basic Recipe**: Start with rolled oats as your base, then mix in some nuts (like almonds or walnuts), seeds (like pumpkin or sunflower), and a sweetener like honey or maple syrup. Bake it at 350°F for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s golden brown.

. **Fruit and Nut Granola**: Combine oats, your favorite nuts, and dried fruits like cranberries or raisins. Use coconut oil and honey for sweetness and bake until crunchy. You can even add a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor!

. **Chocolate Granola**: Mix oats with cocoa powder, nuts, and a bit of brown sugar. Add some melted chocolate or chocolate chips after baking for a delicious treat. Perfect for satisfying that sweet tooth!

. **Savory Granola**: Instead of sweet, go savory! Use oats, nuts, and seeds, then toss in some olive oil, garlic powder, and your favorite herbs. Bake it until crispy for a unique snack or topping for salads.

. **Cluster Granola**: If you like those big crunchy clusters, mix your oats with a bit more sweetener and some nut butter. Press it down tightly on the baking sheet before baking. Once it cools, break it into chunks!
