Scale
- 4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup raw pecans/walnuts/almonds (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (if you’re using standard table salt (scale back to 3/4 teaspoon))
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup olive oil

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (OR almond extract)
- 1/2 cup dried fruit (chopped if large, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the first 4 ingredients. (I used the whisk on my standup mixer)
- Add next 3 ingredients (oil, syrup, extract) and mix.
- Prepare a large baking sheet or two with parchment paper (I used two separate sheets)
- Spread granola onto sheetsevenly. (OK to have space between clusters)
- Bake until golden, about 18-20 minutes.
- Once the granola appears golden, remove from oven allow to cool and then store.
Notes
You can mix the granola about half-way if desired. I also check around the 15 min mark to ensure it doesn’t burn, which I have had happen before.
