Ingredients

4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (use certified gluten-free oats for gluten-free granola)
1 1/2 cup raw nuts and/or seeds (I used 1 cup pecans and 1/2 cup pepitas)
1 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt (if you're using standard table salt, scale back to 3/4 teaspoon)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup melted coconut oil or olive oil
1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup dried fruit, chopped if large (I used dried cranberries)
Totally optional additional mix-ins: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or coconut flakes*

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts and/or seeds, salt and cinnamon. Stir to blend.
Pour in the oil, maple syrup and/or honey and vanilla. Mix well, until every oat and nut is lightly coated. Pour the granola onto your prepared pan and use a large spoon to spread it in an even layer.
Bake until lightly golden, about 21 to 24 minutes, stirring halfway (for extra-clumpy granola, press the stirred granola down with your spatula to create a more even layer). The granola will further crisp up as it cools.
Let the granola cool completely, undisturbed (at least 45 minutes). Top with the dried fruit (and optional chocolate chips, if using). Break the granola into pieces with your hands if you want to retain big chunks, or stir it around with a spoon if you don't want extra-clumpy granola.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks, or in a sealed freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. The dried fruit can freeze solid, so let it warm to room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Ingredients

2 cups quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1/4 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup raisins

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 300.
Put the oats, pecans, coconut, salt, and brown sugar in a large bowl and mix with a wooden spoon.
Whisk the oil and maple syrup together in a small bowl. Pour over the oats and mix well.
Spread out on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake in the center of the oven for 40-45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
Transfer to a bowl, stir in the raisins, and let cool.

Tips:

For a crunchier granola, toast the oats and nuts separately before combining them with the other ingredients.
If you like your granola chewy, add a little more honey or maple syrup.
To make a gluten-free granola, use gluten-free oats and rolled oats.
For a vegan granola, use agave nectar or another vegan sweetener instead of honey.
Store your granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
