Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together all the ingredients except the oats. (If the maple syrup is cold, the bowl of ingredients may need to be placed in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute until everything comes to room temperature and mixes well.)
1/2 cup pure maple syrup, 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted, 1/4 cup almond butter or any nut butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon maple extract, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Add oats the wet mixture and combine well.
4 cups rolled oats
Pour the coated oats onto the prepared baking sheet and spread out evenly.
Bake for 20 minutes, then stir the granola so the edges do not burn. Set the timer for another 10 minutes and bake until the edges are browned. The granola in the middle of the pan will not be as browned as the edges and that's okay. Remove from the oven.
Allow the granola to cool completely, then stir or break into chunks.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Prep Tips - Feel free to add chopped nuts, shredded coconut, chocolate chips or dried fruit after the granola bakes, if desired.
