Notes
Storage:
Store in an airtight container up to 2 weeks. Notes: If desired, use a sheet pan. It will cook quicker when it's pressed in an even layer. We like the baking dish so we can mix directly without using more bowls. The brown sugar and honey are used as a sweetener. Maple syrup/white sugar can be used in their place. Adjust the amounts as desired. Any dried fruits, nuts, spices, and add-ins can be used in granola. They are adjustable and optional.
