3. Slowly pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients.
4. Stir until everything is evenly covered and combined.
5. Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet covered with a piece of waxed paper.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes (check at 15 minutes to make sure the granola is browning evenly on the sheet).
