Instructions

- Pour a splash of vanilla extract over the top - 1 teaspoon. Pour half of the olive oil and maple syrup over the mixture. Start mixing the ingredients with a spatula. Continue to add more olive oil and maple syrup and mix until, ‘It glistens,” says my wife.
- Spread mixture onto the parchment paper lined sheet pan. Should be spread out to be about an inch thick. Cook in the oven for 12 minutes. Take out of the oven and mix the granola. Turn the pan around and put back in the oven for another 12-13 minutes depending on desired brown/crispiness. Be sure to not overcook and burn! 🙂
