Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl mix the oats, nuts, seeds, salt and spices.
Step 3
In a small saucepan gently heat the honey, vanilla and olive oil until the mixture is easily pourable. Don’t bring the mixture to a boil, just a low heat! Pour the honey/oil mixture over the oat mixture and stir until well incorporated. Spread the granola onto two baking sheets and bake in the oven until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. During the last few minutes of baking remove the pans and stir in the chopped dates. Return the granola to the oven and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Enjoy the granola with yogurt, fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup or honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
