Notes

Make large batches. Granola can be stored at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Add milk to granola and eat like cereal. Use it to top a fruit salad or nonfat plain yogurt. Or, pack single servings in a zip-top plastic bag. Eat on its own for a tasty afternoon snack.
Use homemade granola in the Yogurt Parfait recipe.
Use leftover rolled oats to make oatmeal for breakfast. Or, use in Rolled Oats and Peanut Butter Cookies.
