Notes

Storage: Once completely cooled, store granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to about 4 weeks. For longer storage, you can freeze in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. When you're ready to enjoy, let the granola come to room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Gluten Free: To make this granola gluten free, be sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
