Ingredients
- Old-fashioned oats
- 3 cups
- Dried apricots
- 1 cup, chopped
- Almonds
- 1 cup, chopped
- Coconut oil
- 1/3 cup, melted
- Honey
- 1/2 cup
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, chopped almonds, and dried apricots, mixing until well distributed.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring it's in a single layer for even baking.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet to achieve maximum crunchiness before transferring it to an airtight container for storage.
- Serve with yogurt, milk, or enjoy as a standalone snack. For a refreshing twist, sprinkle it over fresh fruit or mix it with your favorite nut butter.
Tips
- For a nut-free version, substitute the almonds with sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds.
- Feel free to add other dried fruits such as raisins or cranberries for additional flavor.
- Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
