Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups oats
- 1 heaping cup chopped walnuts
- 1 heaping cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds
- 1 cup wheat germ
- 1/2 cup flaxseed meal
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 Fahrenheit. Spread oats across two baking sheets and toast for 15 minutes, stirring the oats halfway through.
- While the oats are toasting, mix the nuts, sesame seeds, wheat germ, and flaxseed meal together in a large mixing bowl. In a small saucepan, heat coconut oil, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk just until the pumpkin pie spice is incorporated and the coconut oil has melted. Set aside.
- When the oats have toasted, remove them from the oven and lower the oven temperature to 300 Fahrenheit.
- Add oats to the nut mixture. Pour the oil mixture and salt over the oats and stir until incorporated.
- Spread the mixture back onto the baking sheets and return to the oven. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring the mixture once after 15 minutes and a second time after 30 minutes. For the last 15 minutes, check on the mixture every five minutes to ensure your granola doesn’t burn.
- Let cool and stir in the raisins.
- Store in airtight containers. The granola should keep for a week on the counter and a month in the fridge.
