Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a large mixing bowl add the water, oil and maple syrup and whisk. Then add the flax seeds and seasonings and whisk again. Finally add the rest of the ingredients and stir well, making sure the nuts and seeds are well coated.

Spread on a baking sheet and cook in the oven for 20 minutes, remove from the oven and stir.

Then place back in the oven and stir for another 10 - 20 minutes, checking every 5 mins or so to prevent burning.

Let the granola cook untouched on the counter for 10 mins.

Store in a airtight jar for up to one week.
