Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats ((gluten-free for GF eaters))
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flake
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 cup pecans
- 1/4 cup craisins ((or other dried fruit))
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp cocoa powder ((optional))
- 1/4 cup extra virgin coconut oil*
- 1/2 scant cup honey ((sub maple syrup or agave for vegan))
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 340 degrees F (171 C).
-
Mix the oats, coconut, cinnamon, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and nuts together in a large bowl.
-
In a small saucepan over medium low heat, warm the coconut oil, honey and vanilla extract and pour over the dry ingredients and mix well.
-
Spread the mixture evenly onto a baking sheet (may take two batches- or more if increasing batch size) and bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring a bit near the halfway point. The coconut oil will help this granola crisp up nicely but be sure to watch it carefully as it browns quickly.
-
Add the craisins to the baking sheet in the last few minutes of cooking, so they don't get hard.
-
Once the granola is visibly browned (about 23 minutes for me), remove from the oven and scoop into a bowl to let it cool. Place in a container that has an air-tight seal and it should keep for a few weeks.
