Equipment
- large sheet pan
Ingredients
- 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a large baking sheet (18 x 26) with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the oats, nuts, seeds, coconut, salt and cinnamon. Stir to blend.
- Add the maple syrup, oil and vanilla. With a spatula or wooden spoon, stir all the ingredients until well coated.
- Spread out the mixture evenly on the pan. Bake at 300°F for 35-40 minutes, or until browned (the granola will still be soft when done- it will harden as it dries).
- Let cool completely in the pan. When cooled, break into small clusters.
- Store in an air tight container at room temperature for about 2 weeks.
