Granola

 4 cups rolled oats (If making gluten free, be sure to have certified gluten free oats)

6 tablespoons hemp hearts

2 tablespoons chia seeds

4 tablespoons ground flax

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup brown sugar

2/3 cup vegetable or canola oil

2/3 cup pure maple syrup

1 tablespoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 300 degrees and line a 9x13 inch pan with parchment paper.

Mix granola, hemp, chia, flax together in a big bowl.

In a separate bowl mix together cinnamon, salt, brown sugar, oil, syrup, and vanilla. 

Once sugar is dissolved pour the mixture over the oats blend and stir until it's all evenly coated.

Pour out and flatten the mixture on the parchment paper lined pan and sprinkle the top with a little more cinnamon and salt.

Bake for 20 minutes and take out and stir then flatten again and return to the oven. Continue that process every 10 minutes until a golden color begins to develop on the granola. Be sure not to overbake. Let it cool on the pan, the more you stir it the smaller the chunks will be. You can skip the stirring part and let it stay in one flat sheet the whole baking time and break it into chunks after it cools. Store in an airtight container on the counter/pantry. Tasty in yogurt or on its own with milk and berries. Stays fresh for weeks. 

**you can make this without the hemp, chia, and flax. If so, just reduce the sauce you create by a little and it's still super yummy, just less protein.
