Press scant 1/2 cup into bottom and up side of each well of greased 6-count jumbo muffin pan.
Bake in 300°F (150°C) oven until golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in pan for 20 minutes. Gently twist granola bowls to loosen from pan; transfer to rack to cool completely. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 5 days.)
