Step 1 of 4

Mix the dry things first

Heat the oven to 300°F. Tip the oats, pecans, flaked almonds, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon and salt into a large bowl and toss them together with your hands.

— Low heat is not caution, it is the recipe. Above about 325°F the honey and sugar color long before the oats have dried out, and you get granola that tastes toasted and still feels soft.
