4 cups rolled oats 1 cup raw almonds, roughly chopped 1/2 cup lightly toasted walnuts, roughly chopped 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots 1/3 cup dried cranberries 1/3 cup chia seeds 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg pinch salt 2/3 cup maple syrup 2 tablespoons infused coconut oil or butter 2 teaspoons vanilla 1. Heat the oven to 300 degrees. 2. In a bowl combine the oats, almonds, walnuts, apricots, cranberries, chia seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. 3. In a bowl combine the maple syrup, infused oil and vanilla. Pour this mixture over the oat mixture, mix and spread on a parchment covered sheet pan. 4. Bake, stirring occasionally, until the granola is golden brown. Judgement call here, I like my granola on the darker side of golden brown – let your heart be your guide. Expect it to take 35 to 45 minutes. Cool completely before breaking into clusters. The clusters are the best. Keep in an airtight container.
