Can I shake or tap the cup to settle Granola, plain?

No — tapping compacts the grain and adds weight. Fill gently and level without shaking for accurate readings.

Does Granola, plain from a bulk bin weigh the same as pre-packaged?

The ingredient itself yes, but bulk bins may have more humidity and settling. For precise baking, weigh; for cooking, the difference is minor.
