Homemade granola is easy to make and keeps for weeks. A little egg white is the secret to big crunchy clusters, and a low oven toasts everything evenly without burning.
Don't stir it while it bakes if you want clusters. Just rotate the tray halfway. Add dried fruit after baking so it stays soft and chewy.
