Tips & Substitutions
For a healthier twist, consider substituting the granola with crushed nuts for added protein and healthy fats. You can also use mashed bananas or unsweetened applesauce in place of some of the Egg Beaters for added moisture. Ensure the batter is mixed well to avoid lumps for even baking. For a richer flavor, try adding a splash of almond extract along with the vanilla.
