Calories 334kcal
Ingredients
- 3½ cups rolled oats
- ½ cup chopped pecans finely chopped, it's okay if bigger chunks remain
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed meal
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds optional
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup vegetable oil neutral flavored oil—I use canola
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup raisins
- ¼ cup goji berries or mulberries or more raisins
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350° F
- In a large mixing bowl, add the oats, pecan pieces, ground flaxseed meal, chia seeds, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until well-combined.
- Drizzle on the vegetable oil and maple syrup and mix again very thoroughly until the oats are evenly coated.
- Line a full-sized baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper and spread the oat mixture evenly on top. Pat it down with a spatula or spoon to create an even layer.
- Bake for 22 minutes, remove from the oven, sprinkle with raisins and goji berries evenly over the top (without stirring) and allow to cool for 1 hour. Note: the granola may still seem a little soft when you pull it out of the oven but it should harden and become crunchy as it cools.
- Store granola in a sealed container (or two) and store in your pantry until you're ready to eat it.
