# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It requires zero cooking and comes together in less time than it takes to make coffee.
  • The contrast between creamy, crunchy, and juicy keeps every spoonful interesting.
  • You can build it the night before and it stays fresh, making mornings feel less rushed.
02 -
  • Dry your berries thoroughly after washing—any excess moisture will make the granola soggy and ruin the whole textural magic.
  • Don't layer too far in advance unless you love a soft granola situation; the crunch window is brief and beautiful.
03 -
  • Build these in jars with lids if you're prepping breakfast for the week—they transport beautifully and stay fresh for two days.
  • If your granola is on the sweet side, use plain yogurt; if your yogurt is tart, a vanilla version balances it perfectly.
