To enjoy this granola, you can pour it into a bowl and add your preferred milk, such as dairy or a plant-based alternative. It also pairs well with yogurt, providing a contrasting texture.

How to keep the rest
To maintain its crispness, store any remaining granola in an airtight container at room temperature. Ensure the container is sealed tightly to prevent moisture from entering, which can make the granola soggy. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight for optimal freshness.
