❓ Q&A

Q: Can this be prepped ahead?
Yes—keeps 2–3 days. For best crunch, store granola separately until ready to eat.

Absolutely! They make an even better compote due to higher moisture.

Q: Can it be made dairy-free?
Yes—use coconut yogurt or plant yogurt + vegan protein powder (protein will vary).
