Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup chopped raw nuts/seeds (I did half almond half walnuts)
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- dash of ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 2 tbsp molasses (I used blackstrap)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a large bowl, add the oats, nuts, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Stir with a spatula until combined. Then add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, molasses, and vanilla. Stir until well combined.
- Spread granola evenly on the lined baking sheet and press it flat with the back of the spatula. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and gently flip/stir granola and press it flat again. Bake for an additional 10-13 minutes or until golden. It will crisp up even more as it cools.
- Let it cool completely before breaking it up into pieces. Enjoy! Store in an airtight container.
