Ingredients

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup mixed nuts
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • ½ cup honey
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dried fruit

Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the 3 cups rolled oats, 1 cup mixed nuts, and 1 cup coconut flakes.

  3. 3

    In a small saucepan, warm the 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup coconut oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon salt over low heat until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pour the honey mixture over the oat mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.

  5. 5

    Spread the granola in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and fragrant.

  6. 6

    Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet—it will crisp up as it cools.

  7. 7

    Stir in the 1 cup dried fruit and store in an airtight container.
