This granola recipe makes a versatile base for the two variations that follow, using just a few simple swaps.

Ingredients

3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup dried unsweetened coconut chips, such as Bob's Red Mill
½ cup chopped raw almonds
½ cup chopped raw walnuts
½ cup pure maple syrup
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup packed light- or dark-brown sugar
½ cup pepitas (raw pumpkin seeds)
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon, or coarse salt
¼ cup chopped dried black Mission figs
¼ cup diced candied ginger

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Mix together oats, coconut, both nuts, maple syrup, oil, brown sugar, pepitas, and 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste). Spread mixture in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until darkened, 50 to 60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes for the first 30 minutes and then every 5 to 10 minutes after that. Let cool completely.

Cook's Notes

Granola can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer up to 3 months.
