How to Prepare Maple Spice Granola [Vegan]

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine the oats, nuts, seeds, fruit, and dried spices in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a small pot, combine the maple syrup, vanilla, olive oil, and lemon zest. Heat lightly on low to combine, never letting this reach near a boil. Remove from heat and add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly to combine. Turn the granola onto your prepared pans and use a large spoon to spread it in an even layer.
  3. To make the perfect clumping granola, bake for 30 minutes, rotating once halfway through. Resist the urge to stir! To avoid burning, it’s important that the temperature of the oven is low, between 275°F – 300°F. Remove once lightly golden and crispy, let cool completely before breaking it into clusters.
