1. 1

   Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Set out an un-oiled baking sheet.

2. 2

   In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the oil, syrup, and salt. Stir in the vanilla.

3. 3

   Place the nuts, oats, and seeds in a large bowl and stir together. While stirring, slowing pour in the warm syrup mixture and thoroughly combine.

4. 4

   Spread mixture in an even, thin layer out on your baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minute Keep a close eye on things--if anything start to burn, mix it up and spread it out again in the pan (stuff on the edges can sometimes cook too fast).

5. 5

   Remove from oven. If you like your granola clumpy, squeeze it into clumps and let cool on pans. If you like it without clumps, stir frequently while it cools.

6. 6

   The granola will keep well for several weeks in an airtight jar at room temperature. It is nice with thick plain yogurt and a few blueberries and stirred with a tablespoon of almond butter.
