Equipment
- Baking Sheet pan
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- ½ cup Rolled Oats
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Black sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons Chopped Pecans - Alternatives include almonds or cashews
Optional
- 1 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 tablespoons Hemp seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a bowl combine rolled oats, nuts, olive oil, maple syrup, sesame seeds, salt and pecans. Additionally, include optional ingredients.
- Place parchment paper on baking sheet.
- Spread out mixture evenly on parchment paper, don't overcrowd if you like crunchy granola. Press the granola into the pan before you bake it. Don’t stir granola while it’s baking.
- Bake for 12 to 18 minutes. For smaller baking sheet cook 18 minutes and for larger 12 minutes.
- Before granola completely cools, stir with a rubber spatula so crystallized sugars in the granola don't stick to the parchment paper.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
- Enjoy!
