Servings: persons

6 cups old fashioned oats
2 cups raw almonds, sliced
2 cups raw pecans, chopped
2 cups unsweetened dried shredded coconut
½ cup ground flax seeds (optional)
½ cup hemp seeds, hulled (optional)
4 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
½ tablespoons butter
1 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons real vanilla
parchment paper

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2
Cover two rectangular baking sheets/sheet cake pans with parchment paper.
3
Mix the dry oats, almonds, pecans, coconut, seeds and spices together in a large mixing bowl.
4
Heat the butter and maple syrup together in small sauce pan over low heat.
5
Once the butter melts remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
6
Pour the hot liquids over the dry ingredients and stir together with a rubber spatula until evenly coated.
7
Spread mixture evenly over both prepared pans.
8
Bake for 10 minutes then turn oven off and let granola sit overnight or for 6-8 hours.
9
(you may opt to bake the granola for 75 minutes in a 250 degree oven).
10
The granola will become crisp as it cools at which point you can break it into pieces and store in air tight container for up to 3 weeks.
11
Feel free to add dried fruit of your choice after it has cooled or mix in when eating.
12
Additional options that I have not yet tried are substituting coconut oil for the butter; mixing in cocoa with the maple syrup and butter mixture for a chocolate flavor.

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
