Ingredients

• 3 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans)
• 0.5 cup Raw sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Dried fruit (e.g., raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm the honey and coconut oil until melted. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the warm honey mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes to prevent burning.

Step 7

Once golden and fragrant, remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, stir in the dried fruit of your choice.

Step 9

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
