Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup sliced almonds

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (to taste)

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup dried fruit (such as cranberries, diced apricots, or raisins)

1/4 cup chia seeds (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). To make cleanup easier, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, sliced almonds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and chia seeds (if you choose to add them). Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of all dry ingredients.

      Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, and pure vanilla extract until all ingredients are smoothly blended and well incorporated.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently stir everything together until all the dry components are coated evenly with the moist mixture.

          Spread on Baking Sheet: Transfer the combined granola mixture to your prepared baking sheet. Use the back of a spatula to spread it out evenly, making sure to press it down lightly to create a compact layer, which helps form delicious clusters as it bakes.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes. Stir the granola halfway through baking to promote even browning. Keep a watchful eye on it, as it can transition from a perfect golden brown to burnt quickly.

              Add Dried Fruit: Once the granola is golden and fragrant, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. While still warm, gently mix in your choice of dried fruit.

                Cool Completely: Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, it will continue to firm up and become crisp.

                  Store: After the granola has fully cooled, break it into clusters and transfer it to an airtight container. This granola can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks, if it lasts that long!

                    Enjoy your Toasty Almond Coconut Granola as a delightful breakfast cereal, a crunchy topping for yogurt, or a wholesome snack to enjoy on-the-go!
