Stir in all remaining ingredients and cook, stirring often, until granola is toasted, golden brown, and fragrant, about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove frying pan from heat and allow granola to cool to room temperature in pan. Granola will crisp up as it cools. Once cooled, break up any large clumps and store in airtight container. Granola will keep at room temperature for up to 1 week.
