Ingredients
- 4 4 cups rolled oats
- 2 2 cups nuts pecans, walnuts, cashews, pistachios, peanuts, or sliced almonds
- 1 1/2 1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt or 3/4 teaspoon table salt
- 2 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 1/2 cup coconut oil melted, or extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 2 cups dried fruits your choice of cranberries, cherries, raisins, apricots, apples, or bananas. Chopped, if large
Optional Ingredients
- 1/4 1/4 cup chia seeds optional
- 1/4 1/4 cup hemp hearts optional
- 1 1 cup unsweetened coconut flake optional
- 1/2 1/2 cup chocolate chips optional, add after the granola has completely cooled
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the oats, nuts, fine sea salt, cinnamon, melted coconut oil or olive oil, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Add the chia seeds and hemp hearts, if using. Stir together until well combined. Pour the mixture into the parchment lined baking sheet and spread evenly.
- Place in preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. If using unsweetened coconut flake, add it at this point. Stir the granola and lightly press down with the spatula to form clumps in the granola. Bake until lightly browned and fragrant, about another 10 - 14 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir in the dried fruits. If using chocolate chips, cool completely before adding them to the granola.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or allow to cool completely and store in airtight container.
