Maple Cinnamon Granola

Preheat oven

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

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

Pour in the oil, maple syrup and/or honey and vanilla. Mix well, until every oat and nut is lightly coated.

Bake

Bake until lightly golden, about 24 minutes, stirring halfway (for extra-clumpy granola, press the stirred granola down with your spatula to create a more even layer). The granola will further crisp up as it cools.

Cool

Let the granola cool completely, undisturbed (at least 45 minutes).

If using, add fruit once the granola has cooled.

Store

Store in an airtight container or in the freezer.
