Ingredients

• 3 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
• 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup Honey or maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil or olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or apricots)
• 0.25 cup Chopped dark chocolate (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Add the honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract, stirring until combined and smooth. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry mixture in the bowl. Stir thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly with a spatula to create an even layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Keep a close eye on it during the final 5 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the tray (it will crisp up as it cools).

Step 8

Once cooled, mix in the dried fruit and optional chopped dark chocolate.

Step 9

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Serve with milk, yogurt, or enjoy it as a standalone snack!
