There is only one granola recipe in my life and it's this one. It isn't so much a recipe as it is a ratio of ingredients, which gives you and I the flexibility to use what we have in the pantry and what we love to eat! Leave a comment with your favorite combination of nuts, seeds, and dried fruits!
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
Prep
In a large bowl, add oats, nuts, seeds, salt, and cinnamon. Do not add dried fruit prior to baking!
In a glass measuring cup, measure the maple syrup and olive oil. Carefully pour liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until the oats are evenly coated.
Bake
Spread the oat mixture onto the lined baking sheet in an even layer.
Bake for 40 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes with a spatula, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let granola cool.
Serve
Transfer granola to a large bowl, add dried fruit, and stir to combine. Serve with plain yogurt and fresh fruit, if desired.
Store
Granola can be stored in an airtight container on the counter for up to 2 weeks and in the freezer for up to 6 months.
