Notes

This recipe yields about 5 cups of granola. To calculate the number of servings, I assumed ¼ cup per serving = 20 servings. This is what the estimated nutrition information is based on.
The most wonderful thing about making granola is you can customize it and make it the best granola ever! If adding dried fruit, do so after the granola has cooled. I like putting goji berries, dried cranberries, dried apricots, raisins, and more.
You can store completely cooled granola in an airtight container. It should last 3-4 weeks on your counter.
