Combine oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, pecans, chia seeds and cocoa in a large bowl. Pour maple syrup and vanilla into the dry ingredients and mix through until oats and nuts/seeds are well coated. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper. Divide the granola onto the trays and evenly spread the mixture out into one layer. Keep the granola well-spaced so it keeps it crunchy and less likely to become soggy. Place the trays in preheated, oven and bake for oven for approximately 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Continue to check granola and give it mix now and then to cook evenly and prevent burning. Once baked, cool muesli on trays. Store in a glass jar or airtight container. Add milk of your choice or Greek yoghurt
