Maple-Nut Granola

Procedure:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.
3. Spread mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes.
4. When top side is browned, remove tray and gently flip over granola with a spatula, a little at a time, trying not to break it up too much. Return tray to oven to brown other side (approximately 5 more minutes).
5. Remove from oven and let cool completely (as the granola cools, it will get harder and form clusters).
6. Break up the granola and store in a sealed container at room temperature.

Notes:

* I like to use both rolled and quick oats for a variety of textures, but you can also just use one type.

* If you’d like, you can substitute with other nuts or seeds and add dried fruit.
