Notes
The granola will still turn out delicious if you don’t stir it every 15 minutes. It just won’t brown quite as evenly.
Cook the granola until golden, but don’t expect it to be hard when you remove it from the oven. It will harden as it cools. The peanut butter in this recipe will turn the granola golden more quickly, so be sure to check it after 45 minutes of baking.
