Ingredients
- Rolled oats
- 3 cups
- Dried apricots
- 1 cup, chopped
- Almonds
- 1/2 cup, chopped
- Pecans
- 1/2 cup, chopped
- Coconut oil
- 1/4 cup, melted
- Honey
- 1/3 cup
- Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped dried apricots, chopped almonds, and chopped pecans, ensuring even distribution.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until all components are evenly coated.
- Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring it is in a single layer for even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to achieve a uniform golden brown color and fragrant aroma.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet, as it will continue to crisp up as it cools.
- After cooling, transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy it with yogurt, milk, or as a convenient snack on its own.
Tips
- For added flavor, try mixing in a handful of dried cranberries or raisins once the granola has cooled.
- Feel free to substitute maple syrup for honey for a vegan option.
- Experiment with different nuts, such as walnuts or cashews, to customize the flavor to your liking.
