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.
