Ingredients

• 3 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Almonds (sliced or chopped)
• 0.5 cup Raw sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey and coconut oil, stirring constantly until melted and well blended. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.

Step 4

Pour the warm honey mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Stir thoroughly to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the wet mixture.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 6

Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye on the granola during the last 5 minutes to prevent it from burning.

Step 7

Once the granola is golden brown and fragrant, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will crisp up as it cools.

Step 8

Transfer the cooled granola to an airtight container for storage. It will keep fresh for up to two weeks at room temperature.
