Notes

  • Storing Granola for Later. Keep your homemade healthy granola in an airtight container or bag for up to 2 weeks at room temperature. For longer storage you can also store it in the fridge for up to a month and in the freezer for up to three months.
  • Line Your Baking Tray. Use parchment paper on your tray to make for easy cleanup after cooking.
  • Fully Cool. Allow your honey granola to cool completely before storing it. This way moisture will not build up in the jar and soften it.
  • Larger vs Smaller Clumps. If you prefer larger clumps in your granola allow it to cool without moving it around much. As it cools the honey and sugar will help it all stick together. For a smaller clumps move it around frequently as it's cooling to break up the pieces.
