Ingredients
6 cups rolled oats
1 heaping cup sliced almonds
1 heaping cup pistachios or other nuts
1 heaping cup unsweetened flaked coconut
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup olive oil
1 cup maple syrup
2 to 3 teaspoons salt
1 to 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
1-Preheat oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) to get that perfect toasty vibe going.
2-In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients: 6 cups rolled oats, 1 heaping cup sliced almonds, 1 heaping cup pistachios or other nuts, and 1 heaping cup unsweetened flaked coconut.
3-In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients and spices: 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1 cup olive oil, 1 cup maple syrup, 2 to 3 teaspoons salt, and 1 to 2 teaspoons cinnamon.
4-Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until everything is well coated think of it as giving your ingredients a big, friendly hug.
5-Spread the granola mixture evenly in one layer on a nonstick baking sheet, and bake in one or two batches as needed.
6-Bake for 15 minutes, then give it a good stir to keep things even.
7-Bake for another 15 minutes until itβs golden and crispy.
8-Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet; it will crisp up even more as it sits.
9-Store the cooled granola in a zip-top bag or airtight container for about one week, and serve it with milk, fruit, or just by itself for a quick treat.

π§ The higher salt amount balances the sweet, but reduce if preferred.
β²οΈ Watch baking time closely between 30-45 minutes to avoid burning; stirring helps even baking.
π₯₯ Add nuts that burn faster like pecans or walnuts during the last 10-15 minutes of baking; pistachios can bake from the start.
