4 cups rolled oats,
1 cup seeds or nuts of choice,
1/2 cup flax seed meal,
1/2 cup brown sugar,
1 T. cinnnamon
1 tsp. salt

In another bowl combine:
1/3 cup canola oil
1/8 cup pure maple syrup
1/8 agave nectar
1/2 T. vanilla extract.

Pour liquid into dry and coat well. Transfer to parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 375 for 2-30 minutes, mixing after every 10 mins. Once out of oven add 1 C. dried fruit and let cool. store in airtight container.

I got this recipie from @veganyogini

OR

2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal (not instant)
1 heaped cup mixed nuts
1/4 cup mixed seeds (sunflower, poppy, pumpkin, sesame)
3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 tablespoons maple syrup
About 3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups dried fruit

Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°. Put oatmeal, mixed nuts, mixed seeds, coconut, and cinnamon on a baking sheet. Stir well; smooth out. Drizzle with maple syrup and olive oil; stir. Bake 25-30 minutes. Every 5 minutes or so take out and stir, then smooth down with a wooden spoon and put back in oven. When granola is golden, remove from oven, mix in dried fruit (roughly chop any large pieces); let cool. Serve with milk or yogurt. You can keep leftover granola in an airtight container about 2 weeks, but it’s so delicious we’ll be surprised if it lasts that long!

I usually kind of mix the 2 recipes together. Its always really good.

Enjoy
