Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 0.5 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup dried apricots
- 0.5 cup raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, pecans, and sunflower seeds. Mix well.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the honey and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the coconut oil mixture over the oat mixture. Add ground cinnamon and salt, and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even toasting. Bake until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Once cooled, add the dried cranberries, dried apricots, and raisins. Toss to combine.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks.
