We're modern bakers, you and I. We don't need to spend time chopping, stirring, and mixing. You can if you want, but the blender is a huge time saver here. If you're one of the lucky few with a dish-washable blender, this recipe couldn't get any easier for you. Just blend and bake!
Bake the Granola
Spread the mixture onto the parchment paper in one even layer. Bake for 15 minutes, remove from oven and stir, then place back in the oven and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely
The more even your layer of granola, the more evenly crisp and baked it will get, so spread that granola flat onto the parchment paper. Bake until golden and enjoy!
