Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Chopped Walnuts
  • 1 cup Hemp Hearts
  • ¼ cup Flax Seeds Whole or Ground - See post for more details
  • cup Oil of Choice See post for details
  • 3 cups Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • 1 ¼ cups Pure Maple Syrup
  • 2 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract You can do half Vanilla, half Maple extract if you prefer
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • Mix-ins Optional - See post for details.

Instructions

  • Measure walnuts, hemp hearts, and flax seeds into a large pot.
  • Cook over medium heat (We tend to do this over a campfire, but you can do it over a stove!), until mixture is toasty and aromatic. Remove from heat, transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
  • Measure 1 tablespoon of the measured oil into the pan, return to the heat source, and allow to oil heat for a minute. Add the rolled oats, stir well to coat.
  • Cook the oats for a few minutes, until they’re golden brown and starting to get crispy. Remove from heat, and transfer to the bowl with the other toasted ingredients.
  • Add the maple syrup, vanilla, salt, and remaining oil to the pan, return to heat and bring to a boil.
  • Once it’s at a full rolling boil, add the toasted nuts, seeds, and oats back to the pan, stirring well to coat. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes or so, until the liquid is dried up and the granola is aromatic.
  • Remove from heat and spread the granola mixture out on a large baking sheet or piece of parchment paper, separating any large clusters.
  • Once fully cool, add any mix-ins you might like and transfer to an airtight container for storage.
