Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 3 cups Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup Nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts) chopped
  • 0.5 cup Seeds (e.g., pumpkin, sunflower)
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 0.5 cup Maple Syrup or Honey
  • 0.25 cup Coconut Oil (melted)

Equipment

  • Large baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, seeds, cinnamon, and salt, mixing them thoroughly.
Mixing and Baking
  1. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the maple syrup (or honey) and melted coconut oil.
  2. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir well until everything is evenly coated.
  3. Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and crispy.
Cooling and Storage
  1. Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet; it will become crunchier as it cools.
  2. Once cooled, transfer the granola to an airtight container and store it at room temperature for up to two weeks.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding dried fruit (like cranberries or raisins) after the granola has cooled. You can also experiment with different spices like nutmeg or ginger for variety.
