Granola with Coconut and Nuts

Ingredients

• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts)
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• ½ cup honey or maple syrup
• ¼ cup coconut oil
• ½ cup dried fruit (e.g., raisins, cranberries)
• ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. 1

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

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine 3 cups oats, 1 cup nuts, 1 cup coconut flakes, and 0.5 tsp salt.

3. 3

   In a small saucepan, melt 0.25 cup coconut oil with 0.5 cup honey over low heat, stirring until smooth, about 2 minutes.

4. 4

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

5. 5

   Spread the mixture in a thin, even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

6. 6

   Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden brown and fragrant. Let cool completely on the sheet—it will crisp as it cools.

7. 7

   Once cool, stir in 0.5 cup dried fruit. Store in an airtight container.
