Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Chopped almonds
- 1 cup Chopped walnuts
- 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 0.3333333333333333 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup Chopped dried apricots
- 0.5 cup Raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, chopped almonds, chopped walnuts, and shredded coconut. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey (or maple syrup) and coconut oil until melted. Remove from heat, and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the warmed liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Mix thoroughly to ensure all the oats and nuts are coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on the granola to prevent burning, especially towards the end.
Once golden brown and fragrant, 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, stir in the dried cranberries, chopped apricots, and raisins.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Serve with yogurt, milk, or enjoy as a snack right out of the jar!
