Equipment

  • baking sheets

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups gluten free oats
  • ½ cup each pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds
  • 1 cup each raw cashews and walnuts chopped
  • ½ cup coconut
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ½ cup raisins
  • 1 tbsp +1 tsp cinnamon divided
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ½ cup each olive oil, maple syrup and peanut butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325 convection.
  • Add all dry ingredients leaving out 1 tsp of cinnamon into a large bowl and stir to combine.
  • Add vanilla, peanut butter, maple syrup, olive oil and 1 tsp cinnamon to a small pot and stir over medium low heat until mixture is homogeneous.
  • Spread evenly onto 1 very large or 2 smaller pans. I used 2. Press granola down firmly onto baking sheets using a spatula. Place in the oven for 20 minutes. Turn pans and bake for another 10-15. Keep a close eye as you do NOT want your granola to burn.
  • Allow the granola to cool COMPLETELY before lifting it off of the baking sheets. It should lift off in big clumps.

Notes

I don't put parchment on my baking sheets as I use stoneware from the Pampered Chef!
If you prefer to use parchment please do!
