Can I use specific nuts or seeds instead of a mix?

Yes, the recipe calls for 1 cup of raw mixed seeds or nuts of choice, so feel free to use your favorite single variety like almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds.

When should I add the dried fruit to the granola?

The dried fruit is added after the granola is removed from the oven and allowed to cool, ensuring it remains soft and doesn't burn during baking.

How should I store this Maple Crunch Granola?

Store the cooled granola in an airtight container at room temperature, where it will remain fresh and crunchy for up to two weeks.

Can I substitute the coconut oil in this granola?

While coconut oil contributes to the crunch and flavor, you could try a neutral-flavored oil like refined avocado oil or grapeseed oil, though the texture might vary slightly.
