Ingredients
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp maple extract or vanilla extract
- 4 cups raw rolled oats (if you eat gluten free make sure your oats are labeled gluten free.)
- 1 1/2 cups chopped nuts, I used pecans and walnuts
- 1/4 cup Pepitas
- 1/4 cup golden flax seeds
- Pinch salt
- 1 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Whisk together the maple syrup, oil, and maple extract in a small cup.
- Put the oats, nuts, pepitas, flax seeds, and a good pinch of salt into a large mixing bowl. Toss well with the maple/oil mixture. Keep tossing until you're sure everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture out onto 2 baking sheets, evenly distributing it over the pans.
- Bake for 20 minutes, rotating the pans and stirring after 10 minutes so everything cooks evenly. Bake until the granola is nice and golden. I left mine in for an extra 5 minutes.
- Pull the pans out of the oven and stir the cranberries into the hot granola.
- Let cool completely on the pans before packing in airtight jars or containers.
- Store at room temperature and use within 2 weeks.

Notes
- Homemade granola is one of those recipes that's easy to vary. Use these proportions and feel free to change out the fruit, nuts, and flavorings. Get creative!
