Notes

Keep oven temperature at 160°C (140°C fan) to prevent burning; decrease temperature if oven runs hot and check early., Stir granola halfway through baking and press gently after first bake to form clusters., Let granola cool completely to keep clusters solid and prevent chocolate chips from melting into one clump., Use certified gluten-free oats for gluten-free option., Swaps: Use honey or golden syrup instead of maple syrup; swap nuts for seeds like sunflower or pepitas for nut-free; dairy-free options include dairy-free chocolate chips or cacao nibs instead of chips., Store granola in an airtight container in pantry for 2-3 months or freeze double-bagged up to 6 months.
