Olive oil and maple syrup work beautiful in this vegan version of my honey nut granola. It's a breakfast staple worth having on hand for quick mornings.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and olive oil until well combined.
In a large bowl, stir together the assorted nuts, seeds, oats, and unsweetened shredded coconut. Pour in maple syrup mixture and stir together until well combined.
Spread granola in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake granola for 45 to 50 minutes, stirring granola every 15 to 20 minutes. Granola should appear golden and toasted. It should smell fragrant, slightly sweet and nutty. Remove from oven to cool.
Cool granola completely before storing. Store granola in a jar with tight fitting lid at room temperature for up to a month.
