Making granola with less sweetener and oil means it will take less time to cook— it’ll be ready in about 10 minutes, instead of the usual 30 to 40. It makes a nice big batch, perfect for keeping in a big jar on you countertop at the ready to pour over your morning yogurt, or you can get a little fancy, and make a parfait by building a few layers of yogurt, granola, and a few handfuls of your favorite fresh fruit. It's also adds a satisfying crunch when sprinkled on top of a bowl of ice cream of frozen yogurt.
