How to Make Maple Granola
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Lightly grease two large baking sheets.
- In a large bowl, combine: 4 cups rolled oats, 1 cup shredded coconut, ½ cup wheat germ, 1 cup chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts - your choice!), ½ cup mixed seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, chia - your choice!).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together: ¼ cup vegetable oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ¾ cup maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Stir until evenly combined. A large spoon or spatula works best.
- Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 2 hours, stirring every 15-20 minutes with a heatproof spatula. Rotate baking sheets halfway through for even browning. Bring edges towards the center as it bakes.
- The granola is ready when it's a light golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheets.
- Once cooled, gently stir in ½ cup raisins (or other dried fruit of your choice: chopped dates, figs, currants, cranberries, cherries, apricots, or blueberries).
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks. Freeze for longer storage.
- Enjoy your homemade granola with milk, yogurt, or as a delicious snack on its own!
