Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups nuts and seeds (e.g., almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds)
- 3 cups dried fruit (e.g., raisins, cranberries, chopped apricots)
- 0.25 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, nuts, seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, gently heat the honey (or maple syrup) and coconut oil in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds until melted. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Mix thoroughly until the oats and nuts are evenly coated.
Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye in the last few minutes, as granola can burn quickly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the tray. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, gently mix in the dried fruit. Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage.
Serve with yogurt, milk, or as a topping for smoothie bowls. Enjoy!
