Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 1 cup dried apricots
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, raw almonds, raw walnuts, chia seeds, unsweetened shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and water until combined.
Pour the coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl and stir well until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and crisp.
While the granola is baking, chop the dried apricots into small pieces if they are large.
Once the granola is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet.
Once cooled, add the dried apricots and dried cranberries to the granola, and stir to combine.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
