Maple & Olive Oil Granola

Yields10 Servings
 ½ cup Olive Oil
 ½ cup Maple Syrup
 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
 3 ½ cups Old Fashioned Oats
 ¼ cup Flaxseed
 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  tsp Cardamom (Optional)
 1 ½ cups Raw Nuts (I used Pecans and Sliced Almonds)
 ¼ tsp Kosher Salt
 ¼ cup Dried Cranberries (Or your favorite dried fruit)
1

Preheat oven to 325° F.

2

To a large mixing bowl add the oats, nuts, cinnamon, cardamom (if using), and salt. Stir together with a spatula and set aside.

3

In a liquid measuring cup add the olive oil and maple syrup. Mix together and then add the vanilla extract.

4

Pour the liquid mixture over the oats mixture and stir together thoroughly with a spatula.

5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto a large sheet pan and bake for 25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.

6

After 25 minutes remove the granola from the oven and add the dried cranberries. Mix together and then allow the granola to cool before serving.

7

Tip: If you want your granola to have large clusters (which I do!) after you add the dried cranberries, press the granola down with the back of a spatula, then allow to cool fully.

8

Serve over Greek Yogurt or enjoy plain as a snack!
