Cuisine American
- 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
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.
