Watch closely towards the end – you want the mixture to be golden and baked through, but it can quickly go from there to burnt.
This recipe makes about 5 loosely-filled cups of granola. A serving is approximately half a cup.
Leftovers can be stored in a food storage container or zip top bag at room temperature, provided the granola was cooked correctly and is dry. (If for some reason your granola is damp after cooling, it needs to be cooked a bit longer.)
