Notes

Combine the dry mixture and aquafaba well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly coated. This will prevent sections from burning, and make everything crispy.
Stir the granola while baking to avoid burning and to break up the clusters.
If you like granola clumps you can push the mixture down with the back of a spoon or spatula before baking, and again after shifting the mixture halfway through the baking.
Keep an eye on your granola in the last 10 minutes to make sure it doesn’t burn!
Let your organic granola cool completely before moving it into an airtight storage container.
If your granola loses some of its crispiness while in storage, just pop it back in the oven for 10 minutes!
