Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the steel cut oats, shredded coconut, chia seeds, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix them thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the cinnamon and salt.

Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the maple syrup and olive oil. Stir until all the dry ingredients are coated well with the wet mixture. Ensure there are no dry spots in your mix.

Spread and Roast: Transfer the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out in an even layer. This will ensure uniform baking.

Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 24 minutes. Halfway through (around the 12-minute mark), take the sheet out and stir the granola using a spatula or wooden spoon. This ensures even baking and prevents the granola from burning.

Cool and Store: Once baked to a golden brown, remove the granola from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet. The granola will continue to harden as it cools. After it's cooled, transfer the granola to an airtight container. It's now ready to be enjoyed!
