Servings: 10

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

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, chopped almonds, and dried apricots, mixing until well distributed.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring it's in a single layer for even baking.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
