Ingredients
  

3 cups rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup sliced almonds

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (your choice)

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup mixed dried fruits (such as cranberries, apricots, or banana chips)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a spacious mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, shredded coconut, sliced almonds, sea salt, and ground cinnamon. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix these dry ingredients thoroughly until they are evenly combined.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until the mixture is completely blended and smooth.

        Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Carefully pour your wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure every oat and almond is well coated with the sticky mixture.

          Form Clusters: Transfer the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use the back of a spatula or your hands to press the mixture down firmly, allowing it to stick together and form clusters during baking.

            Bake: Place your baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the granola is beautifully golden-brown. To promote even toasting, give the granola a gentle stir halfway through the baking time.

              Cool and Add Fruits: After removing the granola from the oven, allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, break it into clusters of your desired size and stir in the mixed dried fruits to enhance flavor and texture.

                Store: Transfer your delicious granola clusters into an airtight container for storage. Enjoy them for up to two weeks, making for a perfect snack or breakfast option!
