Simple Granola

INGREDIENTS

• 4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

• 1 cup raw nuts and/or seeds (ex. walnuts, pepitas, cashews)

• 1 tbs chia seeds

• 1 teaspoon sea salt

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1/2 cup melted coconut oil

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 F / 175 C and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with silicone baking mat.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts and/or seeds, salt and cinnamon. Stir to blend.

3. Pour in the oil, maple syrup or honey and vanilla. Mix well. Pour the granola onto your prepared pan and use a large spoon to spread it in an even layer.
