Notes
How to keep granola fresh:
- In an airtight container in your dark pantry or cupboard it will keep for about 6 months.
- It also freezes really well for about 6 months so you have an option if you need space in one place or the other.
- You can use a freezer bag for the granola but I actually put it into another one just to ensure against ice crystals.
