Ingredients
3 cups old-fashioned oats
2 cups chopped nuts (see note)
1 cup shredded coconut
1⁄4 cup sesame seeds
1⁄4 cup ground flax seed
1⁄4 cup chia seeds
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg (beaten)
1⁄2 cup maple syrup or honey
1⁄4 cup olive oil or warmed coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 300 F. In a large bowl, stir together all ingredients to combine. Spread out in a thin layer on a greased, rimmed baking sheet (may require 2 baking sheets). Bake granola, stirring every 15 minutes until golden brown and dry, about 45 to 55 minutes, depending on how toasty you like your granola. Let cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes or so before storing in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Notes
Try a mix of your favorite chopped nuts, such as almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts, and peanuts.
