Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300°F and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, sliced almonds, coconut flakes, ground flaxseed, hemp hearts, and salt.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter (or oil) with the maple syrup and brown sugar over low heat, whisking until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is fully coated and combined.
Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, stirring twice during baking. After baking, toss the granola well and allow it to cool for 15 minutes.
Stir in half of the white chocolate chips and the chopped Oreos, then let it cool completely before mixing in the remaining white chocolate chips.
Store the granola in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar according to your preference.
For extra crunch, consider adding chopped nuts or seeds of your choice.
Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips or add in dried fruits.
