Clusters: Want big, snackable granola clusters? After pouring the granola onto the baking sheet give it a slight press with a spatula. Then, don’t stir it while baking or cooling. Let it do its thing undisturbed. Once cooled, you can break it up into delicious chunky pieces.
Batch Bake: Double the batch and store the other half in a gallon size ziplock bag or airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Fruity Swaps: You can swap the raisins for other dried fruit. Chopped dates, dried cherries, or even dried coconut. Just avoid dried fruit that’s too moist or sticky (it’ll clump or spoil faster).
The low-down on Hemp Hearts: If hemp hearts are new to you here's what they bring to the party, protein, omega-3s, and a yummy mildly nutty flavor. But if you wish, you can sub these for  more oats, unsweetened coconut, more almonds, maybe another nut.
Don't have coconut oil? You can sub light tasting olive oil or avocado oil.
Nut Free Option needed? Feel free to swap the almonds with coconut, more pepitas, or sunflower seeds.
Feeling Fall-ish? Feel free to swap the cinnamon for pumpkin pie spice!
Store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 to 4 weeks. Just make sure it’s completely cooled before sealing it up so trapped steam doesn't turn your crunch into mush. It can also be store din an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months.
