Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups rolled oats uncooked
  • 1/4 cup quinoa uncooked
  • 1/4 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1/2 cup almonds, chopped
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat The Oven: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper if desired.
  • Combine The Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oats, quinoa, pecans, almonds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  • Heat The Liquid Ingredients: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the maple syrup and olive oil. Heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until the mixture begins to simmer.
  • Mix The Granola: Transfer the dry mixture to a baking sheet. Pour the warm maple syrup and olive oil mixture over the top, then stir thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated.
  • Bake The Granola: Spread the mixture into an even layer. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the granola is lightly golden and fragrant. Keep a close eye on the granola during the last 5-10 minutes of baking as it can go from golden to burnt in a matter of minutes.
  • Cool And Crisp: Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will continue to crisp up as it cools.
  • Store: Transfer the cooled granola to an airtight container and store at room temperature.
