Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a 9x13 baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Transfer the oats mixture to the lined baking sheet and spread out evenly. Top with additional nuts, cinnamon, and coconut flakes if desired.1/4 cup coconut flakes, optional
- Bake at 325°F for 15 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven, give the oats a quick mix and spread out evenly again and press down.
- Add it back into the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown. (If you don’t mind loose granola, give it another mix, halfway through. Let it bake untouched for chunkier granola.)
- Once golden, remove from the oven and let cool. (As the granola cools, it will get crunchier and harder. Do not worry that you undercooked it.)
- Transfer the fully cooled granola to an airtight container and store.
