Rolled oats are used in this recipe. Quick oats are not recommended as they do not have the structure, like rolled oats, to hold when baked in this recipe.

Here are some more great tips for you.

1. Some folks prefer large chunks of granola as they are better for snacking on. However, other folks like those chunks to be minimal as the granola will be used as a topping or as part of another recipe. The choice is up to you.
2. Adding dried fruit, such as raisins, is one way to make your granola even better. Other options include coconut flakes, alternative nuts such as peanuts, or even chocolate chips.
3. After removing the granola from your oven it is important that you allow the granola to completely cool before 'disrupting' it especially if you prefer your granola chunky. However, if you are not a big fan of chunky granola, you can attempt to break it up while warm.
