Homemade Maple Granola

This is the granola I’ve been making for as long as I can remember. Simple, straightforward, classic. You can add dried fruit or nuts, just do so after baking.

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 tbsp cinnamon, or pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 2/3 - 1 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F
  2. In a large bowl combine oats, coconut, flour, spices, salt.
  3. In a saucepan heat the coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla until warm. Pour this over the oat mixture and mix well.
  4. Spread evenly on 1-2 cookie sheets, press into pan with back of spoon (this will help create “clumps” - the more you press together, the clumpier it is). Bake at 300°F for 40 minutes, gently turning half way through with a thin spatula.
  5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in pan(s). As it cools it becomes harder and drier. Store in glass jars.
