Ingredients

3 cups rolled oats

1 cup nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans), roughly chopped

1 cup seeds (pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds)

1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

1 cup natural sweetener (maple syrup or honey)

1/2 cup coconut oil, melted

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 cup dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, or chopped dates)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir until well combined.

Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil and maple syrup (or honey) until fully blended.

Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients, and mix well until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.

Spread on Baking Sheet: Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly to ensure clumping.

Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and smells toasted. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.

Cool and Add Dried Fruits: Once out of the oven, allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. After cooling, stir in the dried fruits of your choice.

Store: Once fully cooled, transfer the granola to an airtight container and store it at room temperature for up to two weeks.
