👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes. Prepare a large flat baking sheet and line it with parchment paper.
- 2 In a large bowl, combine the oats, chopped almonds, chopped cashews, sunflower seeds, and desiccated coconut. Mix well.
- 3 In a small saucepan, heat the honey, coconut oil, and grated brown sugar over low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes a smooth liquid, about 2-3 minutes. Don't let it boil for too long.
- 4 Remove from heat, then add the ground cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract to the honey mixture and stir well.
- 5 Pour the hot honey mixture into the bowl with the oats and nuts. Stir with a spatula until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the honey mixture.
- 6 Pour the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly. Press down lightly with a spatula so it's compact and will later form crunchy clusters.
- 7 Bake for 25-30 minutes, gently stirring or flipping the granola every 10 minutes so it cooks evenly and doesn't burn around the edges.
- 8 Once golden brown and fragrant, remove from the oven. Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet without stirring so it forms crunchy clusters.
- 9 Once completely cool, mix in the raisins or chopped dried fruit. Stir gently so the clusters don't break apart.
- 10 Store the granola in an airtight jar. Serve with milk, yogurt, or eat it straight as a snack.
💡 Tips
• Avoid stirring too often during the last 10 minutes of baking so the granola forms crunchy clusters; just flip it occasionally.
• Make sure the granola is completely cool before storing it in a jar so it doesn't get soggy and stays crunchy longer.
• For a healthier version, reduce the amount of honey or replace part of it with maple syrup, and use extra virgin coconut oil.
• Add the dried fruit after the granola has cooled, not before baking, so it doesn't turn hard and burnt.
