Instructions

Preheat oven to 300.
Combine all dry ingredients (oats through salt) into a large bowl. It’s much easier to mix in a large bowl.
Combine wet ingredients (oil through maple syrup) in a smaller bowl, then combine wet and dry and stir very well. Spread on a jelly roll pan (preferrably lined with parchment paper (affiliate link)) and bake until granola is golden and crunchy stirring about every 20 minutes. Should take about one hour and 15 minutes.

Notes

Makes approx. 24- 1/4 cup servings. If you don’t have the Roasted Walnut Oil (affiliate link), just use a neutral flavored oil, the walnut oil just adds a deliciousness to the granola.

It’s really more about drying out the mixture vs. cooking it. Be sure you can hear the crunchiness when turnign the granola, then you know it’s done. You can also turn off the oven at the end, and leave the pan in for a few more minutes. That helps to dry it out too.
