Servings: 12

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

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped dried apricots, chopped almonds, and chopped pecans, ensuring even distribution.
  3. 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.
  4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until all components are evenly coated.
  5. Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring it is in a single layer for even baking.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to achieve a uniform golden brown color and fragrant aroma.
  7. 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.
  8. After cooling, transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy it with yogurt, milk, or as a convenient snack on its own.
