Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup of raw pumpkin or sunflower seeds
- ½ teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- ⅓ cup of maple syrup
- ⅓ cup of olive oil
- ½ cup of dried raisins or cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and mix until the oats and seeds are entirely coated.
- Spread the granola evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until lightly browned.
- Let sit for 1 hour before enjoying.
Notes
- For the crunchiest granola: Don’t under-bake the granola or cook it at too high temperatures (otherwise, it might burn before drying out).
- Don’t overcrowd the pan: Otherwise, it may not bake evenly.
- For larger clusters: Press the granola down until compact before baking.
- Let it cool completely: During this time, it hardens and becomes crunchy.
