- To a bowl add the oats, pulsed nuts, salt (if using), and ground cinnamon. Mix.
- To a separate bowl, add the oil and syrup. Mix to combine. Add the oil/syrup mixture to the oats mixture. Mix to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking sheet lined with unbleached parchment paper. Spread the mixture so it’s in a flat and even layer.
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until it’s golden brown and crispy, while carefully mixing every 10 minutes. Note: every 10 minutes, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and give the granola a mix. Make sure to distribute the mixture out into an even flat layer after every mix. Place it back in the oven to continue toasting/baking.
