- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg white, monkfruit & vanilla extract until the egg whites are frothy but have not started to form peaks.
- Pour over granola mixture.
- Stir with a rubber spatula until the dry ingredients are moistened.
- Spread your homemade granola mixture in an even layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the granola is starting to turn golden brown.

👩🍳 Chef Tip
- The smaller the cookie sheet, the thicker the layer of granola will be. By spreading the granola on a larger rimmed baking sheet, the baking time may be shorter. If you smell toasted granola, immediately pull the pan from the oven.
- Chop the nuts, THEN measure them. ½ cup of nuts, chopped is less than ½ cup of chopped nuts.
