Thanks. I especially appreciate the re-crisp idea and information.

Some of that will depend on conditions it gets stored in.  If you have it in an airtight container it will last longer than in a ziplock baggie- and if your home is on the humid or dry side will also play a small part.  You can always re-crisp a granola that has lost its snap by heating it on a sheet in a single layer, in a 400F oven or microwaving it a few minutes.  I've got homemade granola in the pantry right now that is a month old- but it's vacuum packed in a canning jar.   I made this recipe a few times, but it's never hung around for more than a couple weeks because it got all "snacked up".

Nancy · Answer

No experience with this recipe and it doesn’t say anything about storage time.

But internet articles say 1-4 weeks storage for granola sealed at room temp.

Or a few months frozen.

In practice, I keep open granola and use it within about 2 weeks.
