Ingredients
- 4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 ½-2 cup raw nuts and/or seeds I used ½ a cup of each: pecans, almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds
- 1 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup melted coconut oil
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅔-1 cup dried fruit I used equal parts goji berries, mullberries, and golden raisins
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F
- Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl except for the dried fruit.
- Place the granola on a large baking sheet in a single row and bake for 12 minutes, flip, then bake for 10-12 more.
- Allow granola to cool for at least 30 minutes (this is where it crisps) and then add your dried fruit on top
- This granola lasts 1-2 weeks on the counter in an airtight container and in the freezer for up to 3 months (just thaw for 5-10 min before serving as the dried fruit freezes).
