• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, melted coconut oil, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
5. Spread the granola in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown.

Tips

• For extra clusters, press the granola down firmly before baking and don't stir too much.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
• Feel free to substitute other nuts, seeds, or dried fruits as desired.
