Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  2. In a small bowl, add the ghee, honey, brown sugar, and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
  3. In a second large bowl, add the dry ingredients (oats, walnuts, pistachios, almonds, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt) and toss to combine.
  4. Slowly pour the wet ingredients on top of the dry and stir until everything is well coated.
Baking

  2. Cool completely before breaking apart. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

Chop some walnuts and pistachios roughly for a mix of textures. Press the granola down gently on the pan before baking to encourage clusters. Watch during the last 5 minutes to prevent burning.
