Makes 1 sheet pan of granola

Prep time: 15 mins

Bake time: 22 mins

Cool time: 30 mins

Here is the basic recipe:

Ingredients:

• 4 cups rolled oats

• 1 1/2 cup nuts and seeds of your choice (We usually use pumpkin, sunflower and almonds)

• 1 tbsp cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp sea salt

• 1 tsp vanilla

• 1/2 cup olive oil

• 1/2 cup maple syrup

Directions:

• Heat oven to 350 °F

• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

• Mix everything together in a large bowl.

• Press granola mixture evenly into a baking sheet.

• Bake for 25-30 mins, or until golden, tossing halfway through.

• Let cool completely without mixing for at least 30 mins. This will allow for the crunchy chunks in granola that we all love.
