Sweet Crunchy Granola

This granola is not only delicious but also packed with wholesome ingredients. Perfect for starting your day off right!

Ingredients

3 cups rolled oats
1 cup nuts and seeds (your choice)
1 cup shredded coconut (optional)
3/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1 cup dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, or apricots)
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, salt, and cinnamon, mixing until evenly incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is coated evenly.
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, pressing down lightly to form clusters.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown, stirring once halfway through to ensure even baking.
Once baking is complete, remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will become crisp as it cools.
Add the dried fruits and chocolate chips, if using, and mix well.
Store your sweet crunchy granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
