Notes
Choose the Right Pan
Use a large cast-iron pan for even heat distribution and optimal roasting. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure every ingredient gets properly toasted. If making a larger batch, it’s better to do it in smaller portions.How to Make Stovetop Granola Crunchy
- Even Roasting: Stir continuously to ensure even roasting and prevent burning.
- Cool Completely: Allow the granola to cool completely before storing, as it will become crunchier as it cools.
- Extra Crunch: Add crunchy mix-ins like nuts or seeds to retain their texture at the end of cooking.
How to Store
- Cool Completely: Allow the granola to cool completely after cooking. This prevents moisture from getting trapped, which can make the granola soggy.
- Airtight Containers: Transfer the cooled granola to airtight containers or jars. This helps to keep the granola crisp and prevents it from absorbing any moisture from the air.
- Cool, Dry Place: Store the containers in a cool, dry place like a cupboard or pantry. Avoid storing near heat sources or in humid areas, as this can affect the texture and flavor.
- Portion Control: For easy access, you can divide the granola into smaller portions and store in individual containers or resealable bags. This is especially handy for on-the-go snacks or quick breakfast options.
