If you're in the US of A it's a regular fuckin' gauntlet to try to ensure your food purchases aren't loaded with corn syrup.

Do you use anything to get it to stick together? What's better about it? I've tried different combinations of ingredients but I like the kind that resembles what you might buy in a store better.

Personally, I make mine with honey and molasses.

Organic black strap molasses and honey are great for sweetening.

I've tried molasses, works pretty good

I use a mixture of brown sugar and maple syrup that I heat up to dissolve the sugar, then add olive oil, mix with the oats, spread on baking sheets and bake on low temp for a long time until it’s crispy

Brown sugar is just white sugar with molasses added. Turbando if you can afford it.

It’s not sticking together so it resembles more a müsli than granola but I toast it in the oven so it resembles more a granola. It’s maybe neither but it’s better than what they sell at the store.
