Pecan and Pumpkin Seed Granola

My days of filling plastic containers with "Classic Granola" at Whole Foods are gone! I left out the coconut here, but otherwise think I've made the same thing : ) Be sure to use raw nuts and seeds for any granola recipe -- nothing that's been previously roasted or salted. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
3 cups old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup of chopped nut of your choice (pecans for me)
1/2 cup of another chopped nut of your choice (almonds for me)
1/2 cup of of a raw seed of your choice (pumpkin for me)
1/2 cup of maple syrup
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 teaspoon salt

Begin by mixing your dry ingredients with the maple syrup and oil. Stir thoroughly until the mixture seems moist. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and spread the mixture evenly on the tray. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve with fruit, milk or yogurt.
