Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans)
- 0.5 cup Raw sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dried fruit (e.g., raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.
In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm the honey and coconut oil until melted. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the warm honey mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Once golden and fragrant, remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried fruit of your choice.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
