Preheat the oven to 180C / 360F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Add the dry ingredients to a large bowl, then pour in the melted coconut oil and maple syrup. Stir very thoroughly so the oats are well coated in the wet ingredients.
Spread the mixture onto the baking tray in an even layer. Bake for 18-20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Watch for burning in the last few minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving.
- If the granola is going too brown on the top, you may wish to stir twice during the cook time rather than once.
- Adjust the amount of cardamom to taste preference. This recipe has just a touch, but if you like spice then increase the quantity.
- If you tolerate cinnamon, then you may wish to swap in and either leave out the cardamom or have as additional to it.
