A bowl of healthy home-made nutty granola topped with fresh fruit, plant-based milk or yogurt is a great way to start the day!
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Mix together uncooked old-fashioned rolled oats, nuts and seeds (except chia), coconut, and cinnamon.
Add maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt.
Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway, until the top is golden brown.
Let cool completely. Stir in chia seeds and dried mango, and store in a tightly sealed container
Enjoy with plant-based-milk, yogurt, or on smoothie bowls.

Note:
For different varieties, you can experiment with different nuts, seeds, and dried fruits. Walnuts or almonds can be used. Sunflower seeds would be tasty. Any dried fruit like raisins, cherries, cranberries, or blueberries will work.
