Ingredients
- 6 cups rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt coarse
- 1 teaspoon cardamom
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 1 ⅓ cups flaked coconut lightly chopped, unsweetened or sweetened
- 1 ⅓ cups macadamia nuts coarsely chopped
- 1 ⅓ cups almond coarsely chopped, raw
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, salt, cardamom, and cinnamon.
- In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined. Spoon out 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture and set aside to use later.
- Stir the large portion of the wet ingredients into the oat mixture, tossing to coat evenly.
- Divide the granola between the two baking sheets. Bake for 20 minutes, stirring and flipping half way through.
- Toss the nuts and coconut with the reserved olive oil mixture.
- Add the nut mixture to the granola after it has baked for 20 minutes and bake for an additional 7 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks. This granola tastes better if left to sit for a day or two before eating.
Notes
- Letting the Flavors Meld: this granola is much better if left to sit, covered, for 12-24 hours - the flavors meld and the olive oil aroma dissipates.
- Adaptable: also, the different ingredients are variable - add the type of nuts you prefer. You could also add dried fruit after the granola bakes and cools.
