Notes

- Customize your mix-ins: The great thing about skillet granola is that you can customize it to your liking. Feel free to add in your favorite nuts, seeds, and dried fruit.
- Let it cool before serving: The granola will crisp up as it cools, so it's important to let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Store it properly: To keep the granola fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also freeze it for longer storage.
