Maple Walnut Granola is big on maple flavor thanks to maple extract and pure maple syrup, plus the dried dates provide just enough sweetness, while walnuts give it a nice crunch.

Ingredients

3 cups old-fashioned oats
2 cups quick oats
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
3 TBS. extra virgin olive oil
2 TBS. maple extract
3 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 cup dried chopped dates

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Coat a large (half) sheet pan with cooking spray or line with parchment or use a silpat. (I used a silpat)
In a large bowl, combine the both types of oats, walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and dates. Stir.
In a small bowl or glass measure, combine the maple syrup, maple extract, and olive oil.
Pour the maple syrup mixture onto the dry ingredients and stir until all the wet is absorbed into the dry.
Pour the granola onto the prepared sheet pan and spread out evenly. Bake in oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring granola once or twice while baking. Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature.
Store granola in an airtight container at room temperature.
