Notes

Homemade granola is best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Wait until it is completely cool and dry before packing it up into containers.

Granola can be frozen for up to 2 months. Allow to thaw at room temperature. It might not be as crunchy as it was freshly baked, but will still be delicious.
