Equipment

Sheet pan

Medium/large bowl

Spatula

Measuring spoons and cups

Ingredients

2 cups old fashioned oats
½ cup slivered almonds
¼ cup ground flaxseed
3 tablespoon maple syrup
2 tablespoon extra light tasting olive oil
1 tablespoon pumpkin spice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°. Add all dry ingredients in the bowl and mix well.
Add all wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix well until the mixture starts to clump together a little (this is ok!).
*Optional: Line sheet pan with foil for easy cleanup.
Spread the mixture on the sheet pan using a spatula. It can be clumped together. Put sheetpan on the bottom shelf in the oven. Let cook for 5 minutes. If it cooks longer it will burn.
Do not mix, let cool for at least 15 minutes, and transfer to a container with a tight lid.

Notes

The serving size is ¼ cup

Leave the oats clumped together before baking and after you take it out of the oven. This gives you crunchy granola! Do not cook for more than 5 minutes. It will start to burn.

Substitutions:

Use any type of nuts that you have on hand (walnuts, pecans)
Canola oil can be substituted for the extra light olive oil
Honey can be used instead of maple syrup

I prefer this method of baking the oats vs cooking them on the stove. I just find that toasting the oats on the stove doesn't give the same yummy crunch!
