Yum. I love homemade granola. It’s so versatile- congrats to you for making yours so good for you! If you like Fage Greek Yogurt, you should try Blue Ridge Dairy’s Greek Yogurt. It lasts less than one day in my house. Especially if there is delicious granola like this around.

@ Sizzle – It’s yummy! Get on it!

@ Justine – I often eat this granola with Fage Greek Yogurt! Breakfast heaven!

@ Genevieve – I store mine in an airtight container like these: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=1&SKU=13572526
And honestly, it usually doesn’t last much longer than a week in my house. But it is basically a cereal, so kept in an airtight container or bag, it should last for a good while.

Looks great! Do you know how long it keeps? Any advice on storing it?

@ Olga – It may end up a dismal failure but I’m going to give it a whirl. My intent is to try techniques/recipes I have never attempted before. I am so glad I found your site!

Good luck w/the Bittman book. I ordered his How To Cook Everything Vegetarian and made maybe 5 recipes. That book is so heavy! And there are no pictures

I guess I think of his books more of a guide than a recipe (maybe b/c I make up most of mine).

@ Bridgett – You can get flaxseed (both ground and whole) now in most grocery stores in the “organic/naturals” section or the baking aisle. If you have a health food store in your area, I’d try there as well. Or if you have a Whole Foods/Earth Fare/Trader Joe’s, they have both the ground and whole flaxseeds. If you can only find ground flaxseeds, you can use a coffee or spice grinder to grind them up or a mini-food processor. Hope the info helps and all questions are welcome!
