Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the granola from sticking.
- Combine the rolled oats, chopped walnuts, and chopped dried figs in a large bowl.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey, melted coconut oil, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. This will be your granola coating.
- Pour the honey mixture over the oat mixture. Stir until the oats, walnuts, and figs are well coated with the honey mixture.
- Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. The granola should be golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will continue to harden as it cools.
- Once cooled, transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. The granola can be stored for up to 2 weeks.
- Serve this delicious granola with your choice of yogurt, milk, or enjoy it as a crunchy snack on its own.
Tips
- For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Add other dried fruits, seeds, or nuts according to your preference.
- The granola can be used as a topping for salads, desserts, or smoothie bowls.
