Ingredients
- 4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats gluten free if needed
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- ½ cup pecans coarsely chopped
- ⅓ cup pepitas
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil or olive oil
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, stir together the oats, flaxseed, sliced almonds, pecans and pepitas.
- In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the melted coconut oil (or olive oil), maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla and salt.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and stir until well combined.
- Spread the granola in an even layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, then stir. Press the granola down into an even layer and bake for 10-20 more minutes, until lightly golden. Watch the granola carefully as it nears the end of the bake time since it can go from perfect to burnt quickly.
- Let granola cool completely on the baking sheet and then transfer to an airtight container for storage. Granola will keep in an airtight container for 2 weeks. For maximum freshness, store in the refrigerator.
