Tip
Make this granola recipe your own by switching out any of the nuts or seeds for what you have on hand. You can even make it paleo by replacing oats with 1 cup (250 mL) sliced almonds and 1 cup (250 mL) coconut flakes.

Directions
01
Add coconut oil and maple syrup to large frying pan and bring to a boil over medium heat, about 1 minute. Stir in all remaining ingredients and cook, stirring often, until granola is toasted, golden brown, and fragrant, about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove frying pan from heat and allow granola to cool to room temperature in pan. Granola will crisp up as it cools. Once cooled, break up any large clumps and store in airtight container. Granola will keep at room temperature for up to 1 week.
