Maple Hazelnut Granola

Yogurt is definitely a staple in my diet, so much so that I eat it almost every day for lunch. So, as you can imagine, I look for different ways to liven up this traditional breakfast/lunch item. Granola is always an easy choice to add texture and flavor to yogurt. Granola recipes are so simple to make at home and what is even better is that you can take any base granola recipe and change it up by adding dried fruits and variety of nuts. I have been on a hazelnut kick lately; which inspired this maple hazelnut granola recipe.

Recipe:

- 2 cups rolled old fashioned oats
- 1/2 chopped hazelnuts
- 2 1/2 tbsp avocado oil
- 2 1/2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp cinnamon

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet toss the oats and hazelnuts.
2. Combine oil, maple syrup, and cinnamon in bowl and pour overt oat/nut mixture.
3. Bake for 15-20 minutes, tossing occasionally to prevent burning.
4. Allow to cool before transferring to sealed container.
