Notes
- Store: Place in a large airtight container or bag and store in a cool dry place for weeks.
- Freezing: Granola can freeze in an airtight container, or better yet a vacuum-sealed bag, for up to 3 months.
- Reheating: Before using, if frozen, leave to thaw at room temperature. Reheat in the oven at 300 F for 10-15 minutes to regain some of the original texture.
