How long can Easy Gluten Free Fall Breakfast Granola Last?

The shelf-life of granola depends on how you store it. We prefer to store homemade granola in the fridge or freezer to ensure that it stays fresh as long as possible. However, in an air-tight container, such as these glass meal prep containers, it can stay fresh for 1-2 months in the pantry, as long as the granola was completely cooled and dry before storing. In the fridge, it can last 3-4 months and in the freezer up to 6 months.

Can Easy Gluten Free Fall Breakfast Granola Be Frozen?

Of course! As mentioned above, it can last up to 6 months in the freezer. To freeze your granola, ensure that it is completely cool, and then pour the granola into freezer-safe, airtight containers, such as the glass meal prep containers.

Other Tips for making Easy Gluten-Free Fall Breakfast Granola

There are so many different ways you can customize this granola to make it unique each and every time you make it. Try some of these ideas:

1. Substitute the pecans for almonds, or any other favorite nut.
2. Use pure maple syrup in place of the Agave syrup for a bit of maple flavor and even healthier sweetener than Agave. If you want a little more maple flavor, then add a bit of maple extract as well.
3. Experiment with different dried fruits for different flavor combinations, such as dried apple, cranberries, blueberries, etc. or omit the dried fruit altogether if that is your preference.
4. Add some vanilla extract and some extra cinnamon to give it even more yummy flavor.
5. Try adding some other gluten-free grains, such as crisp brown rice, to give a bit of a crispy texture.
6. You could use butter in place of coconut oil if you are wanting a bit of a buttery flavor.

The beauty of granola is you almost can’t go wrong. Just go look in your pantry and pick out some grains, nuts, a sweetener and a fat, and use the measurements here to play with lots of different varieties and flavors.
