Ingredients
- 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups chopped nuts (see notes)
- ⅓ cup Pepitas or sunflower seeds
- ¾ cup unsweetened coconut chips
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- ⅓ cup coconut oil (or extra virgin olive oil)
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dried fruit optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, combine oats, nuts, seeds, coconut and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk syrup, oil, brown sugar and vanilla until smooth. Pour the wet mixture over the oats and stir until mostly combined. Use your hands to continue mixing, making sure that the oats and nuts are well coated.
- Dump the mixture onto prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer (I like to flatten it with the back of a spatula). Bake for 25 minutes, then use a spatula to mix around the granola. Return to the oven for 10 minutes, toss again, then return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes until evenly golden brown. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool. Add dried fruit after cooling, if desired.

Notes
- *Use any combination of nuts. My preference is a combination of walnuts, pecans and sliced almonds.
