Homemade Granola

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Set aside two baking sheets.

In a large bowl combine the rolled oats and nuts/seeds (leave out coconut until the end).

In a glass measuring cup, combine the maple syrup, oil, vanilla, cinnamon (and ginger if using) and sea salt. Mix well with a fork. Drizzle the syrup mixture over the oats/nuts mixture, and stir as you go. Gently keep stirring until all the oats/nuts are coated with the syrup blend.

Spread the granola mixture onto the two baking sheets. Bake in the center of the oven for roughly 25-30 mins until golden and toasty. Check the granola half-way through to stir gently. Remove from the oven and allow the pans to cool. Pour the cooled granola into a large bowl. Add coconut if you are using. Store in an air-tight container.

Eat with unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, or plain grass-fed yogurt/kefir topped with ½ cup of berries. (Recipe♦482)
