I can never remember to make Granola, until I actually want Granola, by which time it is far too late to make any, and I just don’t have the freedom to purchase beautiful artisanal granola to satisfy each craving.  A friend once said, through necessity is born genius.  Not claiming to be genius by any means, but merely to say that through this existential-granola-dilemma, a solution was born: Shortcut Granola.
