Instructions:
Mix all of your ingredients in each bowl. Coat your oats with the coconut oil or ghee before adding the "wet" ingredients ( the date syrup and vanilla).
On each of your baking sheets, place the contents of one bowl.
Bake at 300°F for 30 minutes, aerate the granola (move it around), bake for another 30 minutes at 300°F. Turn heat all the way down and leave granola like this until crunchy :) Sometimes I turn the heat off after awhile and leave the granola in the warm oven all night.
ADD After Baking: {balance the roasted and the raw}
0.5 cup(s), Pumpkin Seeds or Walnuts
0.5 cup(s), Raw Cashew Pieces
0.5 cup(s), Coconut Chips
