Crock Pot Granola

old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if necessary)

raw nuts or seeds, such as almonds, walnuts, pecans, or pepitas (I used a little of everything!)

ground flaxseed meal or additional 1/4 cup raw nuts

ground cinnamon

kosher salt

large egg whites, at room temperature (use additional 1/4 cup coconut oil to make vegan)

pure maple syrup or honey

melted, cooled coconut oil or very light olive oil

pure vanilla extract

dried fruit, chopped into pieces if large (I used low sugar dried cranberries and apricots)
