Maple Granola

I like having breakfast options on hand that last for a while and just take some (much needed) pressure off during the breakfast rush. I like this recipe because it is an easy weeknight or weekend recipe to make and the batch lasts for a while. This can be nut free and can be sent to school- just skip the pecans. 













​

3 cups         Oats (gluten free if needed. You can use quick oats but I prefer rolled oats).
1/2 cup       Coconut, dried and shredded
1/2 cup       Sunflower seeds
1/2 cup       Pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup       Pecan pieces
1 cup          Dried fruit
2 tsp           Cinnamon
1 tsp           Ginger
1/2 cup       Maple syrup
1/4 cup       Olive oil



1. Preheat oven to 250F
2. In a large bowl, mix the oats, coconut, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, pecans, cinnamon and ginger. 
3. Add in oil and then maple syrup and stir to combine. 
4. Spread onto 2  cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.
5. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes. 
6. After baking is done add in dried fruit and let cool before storing in an airtight container.
