Does it have to be refrigerated or just in air tight container? I’ve never seen granola in the fridge.
Roberta says
What’s the function of the almond flour in the recipe? I’va only seen recipes for granola that dind’t include any flour until now, so I was wondering what could be the difference between using it rather than not. And about the sugar-frre syrup: caould I skip it if I don’t have any on hand…?
