I've had a similar scenario while loving to make and eat granola, never knew the trick to getting it to have the chunky clusters of oats. I made a batch this morning, and voila! Big oat and cinnamon sugar clusters in every bite. What worked for me was to add 1/4 cup of whole wheat flour to the dry ingredients, my recipe instructs to bake for 30 minutes at 300 degrees, stirring every 10 minutes. The other trick was to very gently stir, with a spoon, as not to break up the oats like you would with a fork. I only stir it the first after 10 and 20 minutes, and after 30 minutes let it cool completely, and break up the bigger chunks with a spoon. No more high priced gourmet granola for me, now that I know the secret to great granola!
