Rana’s Notes!
If you prefer a sweeter granola, you could drizzle a bit of agave nectar or honey (if not strictly vegan) onto the granola just before it finishes baking. For a protein-packed version, try adding some chia seeds or flaxseeds.
Storing Your Granola: Proper storage is key to maintaining the freshness and crunch of your granola. Once it's completely cooled, transfer your granola to an airtight container or a sealed mason jar. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Properly stored, homemade granola can last for up to 2 weeks at room temperature. For longer storage, you can freeze granola for up to 3 months.
