Ingredients

  • 4 cups rolled oats
  • 2 cups seeds and/or chopped nuts we like a mix of raw pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and chopped pecans
  • 1 cup shredded coconut if you’re not into coconut, add more nuts/seeds
  • 1 cup chopped dried fruit optional
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

For Chocolate Chip Granola add:

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  Grease a large sheet pan or line with parchment paper.
  • Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.  Spread onto prepared pan in a thin layer and press down flat with clean hands or spatula. Bake for 30 minutes then remove from oven and allow to cool completely.  Once cooled, break into chunks and store in an airtight container. Serve over yogurt (try this homemade version), in milk, or even on ice cream!
