Recipe Notes:

I like to store my granola in the fridge to help it stay crisp.

This granola is super easy to customize! Add cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice or even a dash of cocoa powder for extra flavor. You can also mix in shredded coconut, raisins, or chocolate chips to the granola after it has cooled.
