How to Make Granola in the Slow Cooker

Your slow cooker can be used to make granola customized to your taste. The special trick in slow cooker granola is leaving the lid slightly ajar to promote air circulation. This method can be preferable to oven baked granola, as the oven may not cook evenly and adds unwanted heat to your kitchen in the summer. Slow cooker pieces will be a more consistent size than oven-baked granola. Cooking time will be about 2 1/2 hours with progress checks every 20-30 minutes.

Key Takeaways:

• The biggest trick to great granola that most people forget is to slightly open the lid or move it to the side slightly.
• Slow cooking is the way to go. Not only do the flavors stay in but its completely hands off. Set it and go do something else.
• The best granola is the kitchen sink, you take what you have laying around the house and add it in. Dried fruit is a great way to add nutrition.
