About

One of the great things about being a recipe developer is that you can create things exactly as you wish they’d be. I’m not a huge fan of dried fruit in granola; I like it very crunchy and only kind of clustery—I don’t want to break my teeth on it, I don’t want it too chewy, I want to be able to taste the salt, I want deeply toasted oats, I’d like it to be nut-forward so I can get some healthy fats and protein in, and I want some spice, but not too much. Is that really too much to ask?
