Granola

This recipe has been adapted from Megan's Granola. The original called for ingredients that were either not gluten-free, or didn't have a gluten-free version.

Ingredients

9.5 cups rolled oats 

1.5 cups oatmeal

1 cup sunflower seeds 

1 cup finely chopped almonds 

1 cup finely chopped pecans 

1 cup finely chopped walnuts 

0.5 cup brown sugar 

0.25 cup maple syrup 

0.75 cup honey 

1 cup vegetable oil 

1 Tsp ground cinnamon 

1 Tsp vanilla extract 

Method

Preheat the oven to 150C. Line two large baking sheets with parchment.

Combine the oats, sunflower seeds, almonds, pecans, and walnuts in a large bowl. Stir together the sugar, maple syrup, honey, oil, cinnamon, and vanilla in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then pour over the dry ingredients, and stir to coat. Spread the mixture out evenly on the baking sheets.

Bake until crispy and toasted, about 40 minutes. Stir once halfway through. Cool, then store in an airtight container.

Notes

This makes a great deal of granola! I split the finished granola in two. To one half I added dried cranberries, and to the other half raisins and coconut. Do not add the dried fruit or coconut to the granola before baking as these items will burn.
