Ingredients

¼ cup oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2½ teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup almonds
½ cup pumpkin seeds

Instructions

Heat the oven to 325F.
In a bowl, combine the oil, maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir until well combined.
Add the rolled oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and the vanilla mixture to a bowl and stir until well combined. Using a spatula, spread the granola onto a lined sheet pan in a thin, even layer and press it flat.
Bake the granola for 15 minutes and then stir before baking for another 12 to 15 minutes or until it is at your desired level of golden brown. If you would like large clusters, gently flip the granola and try to make sure they keep their shape instead of stirring. Allow the granola to cool before transferring to a container or serving.

Notes

A serving size of granola is around ⅓ cup and this makes around 3½ cups of granola.
