Homemade Honey Toasted Granola

Ingredients

• 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Raw almonds, chopped
• 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.33 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries(optional)
• 0.25 cup Shredded coconut(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, chopped almonds, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, and salt.

3. 3

   In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. 4

   Pour the liquid honey mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well until every oat is thoroughly coated.

5. 5

   Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly with a spatula to encourage clusters.

6. 6

   Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is fragrant and turns a light golden brown.

7. 7

   Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the pan without stirring; this allows the granola to crisp up and form chunks.

8. 8

   Once fully cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and shredded coconut if using, then store in an airtight container.
