could well be a factor, Leee. other things that come to mind - is it actually toasted enough? is the oven temp too high maybe? is there too much liquid/moisture in the recipe? i accidentally put too much oil or butter in a batch awhile back and i had to bake for quite a while to get the moisture out. ended up quite toasted but not burnt.

The oats darkened but my oven's lowest temperature is 350, so maybe I shouldn't even bother preheating the next time I make a batch.

preheating shouldn't matter one way or the other for granola, imo. have you tried other recipes with similar result? to me "soggy" is making me question the recipe.
