Notes

Storage:

Room temperature: Store cooled granola in an airtight jar or container for up to 2 weeks. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
Freezer-friendly: Granola freezes beautifully! Place in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Just let it sit at room temp for a few minutes before serving.
Avoid the fridge: It can introduce moisture and make your granola lose its crunch.
