Ingredients

200 grams hot water
630 grams maple sugar or raw coconut sugar (see notes for no sugar options)
340 grams maple syrup, honey or liquid allulose
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1200 grams old-fashioned oats (certified gluten free)
2 cups raw nuts of your choice, chopped or sliced (or as much as you would like)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees, and line three 12x16-inch sheet pans with parchment paper.
Whisk the hot water and sugar together so that the sugar starts to dissolve. Add the maple syrup, vanilla and salt, and whisk to combine.
Place the oats and chopped or sliced nuts in a large mixing bowl, and pour the wet ingredients over them. Using your hands (or wear gloves if you hate getting sticky), mix the granola well, so that all of the oats and nuts are coated with the syrup mixture.
Divide the granola evenly between the three prepared baking sheets, and spread out evenly. Bake in a 300 degree oven for 15-20 min until dried out, crunchy and just starting to brown a little. Check for any spots that are still a little wet. Gently stir or move around to redistribute, and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes to fully dry out. It will crisp up more as it cools.
Leave the granola on the pans until it is completely cool, then add the dried fruit if you desire.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
This granola will keep for up to a month at room temperature if kept in an air tight container.

Notes

Variations:

No added Sugar -Use granulated allulose or monkfruit sweetener in place of the sugar. In place of the maple syrup or honey, use liquid allulose.
