FAQ

What is the best way to store home made granola?

Firstly let the granola cool completely before storing otherwise steam will cause the granola to soften & loose its crunch. Any air tight container such as a sealed glass or plastic tub or jar can be used.

How long does home made granola stay fresh for?

This granola never lasts more than a week or two in our house so I have not tried storing it for longer but other online sources advise that home made granola can we stored in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 4 weeks.

Is it possible to use granola in other recipes?

Yes, granola can be used to add a crunchy texture to yoghurt and fruit parfaits or a crumble topping for fruit & baked goods.
