Maple Pecan Granola

I've been eating this out of a mason jar for breakfast and snack at work. 

Have a yogurt on the side. May try adding peanut butter to it sometime. OK to leave out the coconut if you don't have any. 

Ingredients

• 4 cups old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1/2 cup sweetened coconut shreds
• 1/2 cup ground flax seed
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

• 1/3 cup canola oil
• 2/3 cup pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon maple flavoring
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 
  

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Mix oats, pecans, coconut, flax seed, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
4. Stir canola oil, maple syrup, maple flavoring, and salt together in a small bowl; pour over the oat mixture and stir to coat evenly.
5. Spread the resulting mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 40 minutes.
7. Turn oven off and let sit overnight to dry out completely. 
8. Store in an air-tight container.
