Julia found this recipe and made it several times before heading off to college. Ever since, Sonia and I make it regularly, since we could not find a granola that we like enough…

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 300F.
2
Combine oats, pecans, coconut, and pumpkin seeds in a large mixing bowl. Add maple syrup, olive oil, salt, and spices and toss until everything is evenly coated.
3
Spread mixture out on a large baking sheet with rims on all sides. Bake for about 30 minutes, then give it a good stir. Bake another 15 minutes or until the granola is golden brown and smells amazing. It will still be slightly soft and will harden as it cools.
4
Let granola cool completely. Add dried fruit and transfer to gift jars. (Don’t put it in jars before it’s totally cooled or it will get soggy.) It will keep for a few months in an airtight container at room temperature.
