# 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 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
The granola will further crisp up as it cools.
6. Let the granola cool completely, undisturbed (at least 45 minutes).
## Notes
* Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 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.
