"This crunchy granola can be modified to suit your taste. Use different nuts and flakes (you can experiment with the ratio here, too), experiment with different spices, and swap the banana purée for apple or pumpkin. If you don't have coconut oil at home, use olive or canola oil instead. Agave syrup, honey, rice syrup, or maple syrup—use whatever you have on hand. The only rule is that the ratio between dry and liquid ingredients should be about the same no matter what. Once the granola is baked, loosen it a little and make sure it cools completely before you store it so it will remain crunchy. It’s delicious with yogurt or milk, with fresh fruit or simply on its own. In an airtight container, it will stay fresh and crunchy for a few weeks."
