Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds, roughly chopped
- 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup Flaxseed meal
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped dried apricots
- 0.5 cup Chopped dried unsweetened cherries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, chopped almonds, shredded coconut, and flaxseed meal. Stir until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the melted coconut oil and vanilla mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Add the ground cinnamon and salt. Toss all the ingredients together until the oats and nuts are well coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to press it down gently for even browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then stir the granola, making sure to flip the mixture for even toasting.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the granola is golden brown and fragrant. Watch closely in the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, it will become crisp.
Once cooled, stir in the chopped dried apricots and cherries.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to two weeks. Enjoy as a snack, with yogurt, or with your choice of milk.
