Ingredients
2cupsold fashioned oats
1cupsliced almonds
¼cupchia seeds
1cuppecansroughly chopped
¼teaspoonsalt
½cupextra virgin olive oil or coconut oil
¼cuppure maple syrup
1tablespoonmatcha powder
Optionalfor chunkier, sweeter granola:
¼cupcoconut flakes
¼cupadditional maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a 9x13 pan, combine the oats, almonds, chia seeds, pecans and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a small bowl, add the match powder. Slowly pour the maple syrup in while whisking continuously to remove any lumps. Set aside.
Drizzle the oil over the dry ingredients. Use your hands or a spatula to stir the ingredients well, making sure everything is coated. Repeat with the maple-matcha mixture.
For crumbly granola: bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. For chunkier, sweeter granola: after 15 minutes of baking, stir in ¼ cup additional maple syrup and ¼ cup coconut flakes. Bake for 15 more minutes and let cool 5 minutes before stirring.
Notes
If you'd like to add the coconut flakes without adding more maple syrup, stir them in during the last 10 minutes of baking.
