Granola Too Clumpy
Your granola baked into big clusters because there was too much syrup or it was pressed too tightly. Break it up and re-crisp.

The fix
Tap a step to check it off.
- 1 break the granola into smaller pieces and spread on a sheet pan
- 2 bake at 300F for 6 minutes, stirring halfway, to re-crisp evenly
- 3 sprinkle with a pinch of salt and add dried fruit after cooling
If it's still wrong
- Pulse briefly in a food processor for finer granola.
- Use as a crumble topping for yogurt or fruit.
Prevent next time
- Use just enough syrup to coat, not pool.
- Spread in a thin, loose layer before baking.
Notes
Why this works
Granola crispness comes from drying, not just baking. Breaking it up and re-baking evaporates moisture so the oats become evenly crunchy.
