Ingredients
Units
Scale
1/3 cup honey
1 Tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups rolled oats
1/3 cup chopped almonds (or other nut)
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
3 Tbsp shredded coconut or coconut flakes
Few pinches of salt
Optional: 3 Tbsp chopped goji berries (or sub other dried fruit, like craisins)
Optional: 3 Tbsp unsweetened or low-sugar raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 320ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk the honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract together. Add the oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes, and salt and mix well.
- Transfer the mixture to the baking sheet and press it down, keeping it all together but flattening it out into about a 1/4-1/2 inch thick layer.
- Bake for 23-28 minutes until golden brown. The granola won’t be crunchy yet.
- Remove from the oven and add the dried fruit on top, just pressing it down on top of the granola. Then let it cool to room temperature. It will harden and crisp up during this time. After fully cooled and hardened, break it up into clusters.
