Sunflower Seed Granola

 

5 C. old-fashioned oats

1½ C. raw sunflower seeds

½ C. ground flaxseed meal

½ C. dark brown sugar

¼ C. pure maple syrup

¼ C. raw honey

2 T. vegetable oil

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

½ tsp. fine sea salt

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

 

Preheat oven to 350°, lightly oil a large rimmed baking sheet. Mix oats, sunflower seeds and flaxseed meal in a large mixing bowl. Heat brown sugar, maple syrup, honey, oil, cinnamon, and salt in a small saucepan over medium-low, until melted. Add in vanilla extract, pour over oat mixture, stir until fully mixed. Spread on baking sheet, smoothing out. Bake for about 25 minutes, stirring halfway through. Let rest on a cooling rack until fully cool, stirring a few times to break up clumps. When cool, store in airtight container.
