Instructions
- Preheat: Pre-heat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl add oats, flax, chia seeds, almonds, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Mix.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate small bowl or Pyrex, whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil, and almond extract.
- Combine: Pour the maple syrup and oil into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix well until all dry ingredients are incorporated.
- Bake: Pour it all onto the mat or parchment paper lined baking sheet and spread to an even layer. Bake for 20 minutes then remove and mix a bit and rotate the pan, but be sure to flatten again to an even layer before returning to the oven to bake for another 20 minutes.
- Cool: Remove from oven and let cool on sheet so it gets crunchy.

Notes
- Storage
- Storage
- Store in an airtight container for up to a month.
- Substitutions
- Substitutions
- Oats: To ensure that this is gluten-free, use a brand of whole oats that is labeled gluten-free as not all brands are. Do NOT use instant or steel-cut oats.
- Ground flax: You could also use wheat germ (if it doesn't need to be gluten free) or flax seed, although we prefer the texture of ground flax over the seeds.
- Olive Oil: You can omit and use all maple syrup or use another oil like coconut.
- Blueberries: Omit the dried and add fresh blueberries when you're ready to eat. Adding fresh to the oats and baking them fresh will not be enough time to dry them out which will prevent longer panty storage.
- Maple Syrup: You can use another liquid natural sweetener, too. Although we do love the maple flavor this adds to the granola.
- Almond Extract: Vanilla extract is also delicious!
