Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Chopped almonds
- 1 cup Chopped walnuts
- 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Raw sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
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, almonds, walnuts, shredded coconut, and sunflower seeds. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey and coconut oil. Stir until the coconut oil has fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly to ensure that all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the wet mixture.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly with a spatula to create an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through the baking time to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on the granola after 20 minutes to prevent burning.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store it in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Serve with yogurt, milk, or enjoy as a crunchy snack on its own!
