Notes

Use whatever seeds you like for this recipe. Or even nuts! Pepitas, almonds, walnuts and pecans would all be great. Just use about 1 cup total nuts or seeds.
After stirring the granola, its important to press it back down. This will help form the clusters.
And, when you remove the granola from the oven, do not stir it until its completely cool. This is how you will get big clusters.
