Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

Place parchment paper on a large rimmed baking sheet. Add both types of oats to the pan and spread out. Bake for 7 minutes, to toast them.

Step 3

Meanwhile, combine olive oil, maple syrup, coconut sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, sea salt in a bowl, whisk together.

Step 4

Remove oats from oven and pour into a large bowl. Add nuts and flax seed. Then pour liquid mixture over the top and stir to fully coat.

Step 5

Turn oven down to 300 degrees F. Spread granola onto baking sheet, pressing down to make it stick together in compact form, as one uniform piece that is about 1/2 inch to 1 inch thick.

Step 6

Bake for 30-35 minutes, until mostly dry. DO NOT STIR. Remove from oven and let cool completely (it will harden as it sits, patience) before breaking it into big chunks.
