+# Granola
+
+## Ingredients
+
+* **2 cups** old-fashioned rolled oats
+* **3⁄4 cup** raw nuts and/or seeds
+* **1⁄2 tsp.** fine-grain sea salt or standard table salt
+* **1⁄4 tsp.** ground cinnamon
+* **1⁄4 cup** melted coconut oil or olive oil
+* **1⁄4 cup** maple syrup or honey
+* **1⁄2 tsp.** vanilla extract
+* **1⁄4 cup** coconut flakes
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
+
+2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the **oats**, **nuts and/or seeds**, **salt**, and **cinnamon**.
+   Stir to blend.
+
+3. Pour in the **oil**, **maple syrup or honey**, and **vanilla**.
+   Mix well, until every oat is lightly coated.
+   Pour the granola onto the prepared pan
+   and use a large spoon to spread it into an even layer.
+
+4. Bake for 10 minutes, add **coconut flakes** and stir.
+   Press the stirred granola into the pan with a spatula to create a more even layer.
+
+5. Bake until lightly golden (10--12 minutes).
+
+6. Let the granola cool completely, undisturbed (at least 45 minutes).
+
+## Notes
+
+* Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks,
+  or in a sealed freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.
+
+* Use olive oil for a slightly savory granola,
+  or coconut oil for a more neutral flavor.
+
+* Use maple syrup for a sweet, distinctly maple-flavored granola
+  with few or no clumps.
+
+  Use honey for a more neutral flavored, clumpy granola.
