Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup raw nuts (almonds, pecans, or mix)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Whisk oil, maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl until smooth.
  2. Fold in oats and nuts until every piece is coated.
  3. Spread onto a parchment-lined baking sheet into a 1/2-inch-thick layer and press firmly. Bake 25 minutes, then stir, press again, and bake 15 to 20 minutes more until deep golden.
  4. Let cool completely on the sheet, then snap into clusters.

Notes

The granola will crisp and harden as it cools. Do not stir it after baking or you’ll lose the clusters. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
