How to Make It
An optional first step is to roast the oats and cashews before blending.
To roast, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Add the oats and the nuts to a baking tray. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Allow to cool slightly.
Add all ingredients into a blender and blend on high for 10-20 minutes until you have a nut butter-like consistency.
Be sure to give your blender a break every 5 minutes or so, scraping down the sides with a spatula, so the machine does not overheat.

Add more or less maple syrup depending on how sweet you like your granola.
If your blender starts to overheat, give it a break every few minutes. This recipe takes a long time to blend, so don’t give up!
