Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Trays

Ingredients

  • 1 & 1/2 cups Oats
  • 1/2 cup Nuts
  • 1/2 cup More nuts
  • 1/2 cup Dried shredded coconut (unsweet)
  • 3 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 2 tbsp Coconut oil
  • 1/4 tsp Salt

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven to 225F degrees
  • Mix the oats, nuts, coconut, and brown sugar together in a large bowl.
  • Since we keep our maple syrup in the refrigerator, I add the coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt to a ceramic bowl then microwave for 30 seconds until the syrup heats up and the oil melts. Mix wet mixture again.
  • Combine wet mixture with dry and stir to coat oat mixture. Save the dried fruit/chocolate chips for after baking.
  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the granola mix on baking sheets. Place in oven and stir the mixture every 20-30 minutes while it bakes. Sometimes I don't mix it and it will harden. You can just break it after it's done baking if you don't want to take it out.
  • Leave in the oven for 1hr and 15 minutes. Take the mixture out and let it cool before storing in an airtight container and adding in the extra mix-ins. The fruit and chocolate will melt if added when it is hot.
