Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut
  • 1/3 cup pecan pieces
  • 1/3 cup walnut pieces
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and move a rack near the top.
  • Mix all dry ingredients in a medium bowl, including cinnamon and salt. Drizzle the melted coconut oil and syrup on top. Stir until well coated.
  • Grease a medium jelly roll pan (mine was the perfect size at 9 by 13 inches).
  • Spread the granola evenly onto the pan, pressing down slightly. The granola will likely just come up to the top of the pan.
  • Place the pan on the top rack and allow to bake for 16 minutes, until it is just browning on the edges.
  • If you like granola that has bigger chunks, DO NOT stir it during that 16 minutes.
  • Remove granola from the oven after 16 minutes and allow it to cool on the counter before you break it apart (Again, this will get you that bigger, chunkier granola).
  • Store at room temperature in an air tight container.
