Maple Nut Granola

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 325°F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2
   In a large bowl combine the rolled oats, pecans, almonds, ground cinnamon, and salt.
3. 3
   In a small saucepan, combine water, oil, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla. Stir, bring to a boil, stir, and remove from heat.
4. 4
   Pour the maple syrup mixture over the oats mixture and toss together until all ingredients are evenly coated. Spread onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes. For a crunchier granola, bake it for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
5. 5
   Place baking sheet on a wire rack and let cool. While the granola is still a bit warm, break up some of the larger clumps.
6. 6
   Once the granola is completely cool, remove from baking sheet and store in an airtight container.
