Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup crushed walnuts other nuts and seeds
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup raisins or other dried fruit

Instructions
 

  • Prep oven + ingredients: Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Toss oats, crushed walnuts and cinnamon dry ingredients together. Stir in maple syrup to lightly coat dry mixture, but not soak (use more/less if needed).
  • Bake until crunchy: Spread on a lightly oil greased sheet pan and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until dry and crunchy but not burnt. Stir 1-2 times throughout cook time to evenly cook.
  • Serve: Enjoy in and on smoothies, yogurt and oatmeal bowls...or with your favorite milk or milk alternative for a crunchy cereal.

Notes

  • Recipe notes: Substitute walnuts for other nuts and seeds, such as pecans, almonds, or sunflower seeds.
  • Leftovers + storage: Granola can be saved in an airtight jar or container for months, which makes it a great recipe to cook in large batches.
  • Nutrition notes: This simple homemade granola recipe is a great topping for yogurt bowls or eaten as a cereal with plant-based milk. It is a good source of fiber, plant-based protein, and healthy fats from nuts.
