Ingredients 

  • 4 cups oats
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 tablespoons cinnamon
  • ½ cup coconut oil
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 4 tablespoons chia seeds
  • ½ cup chopped nuts
  • ½ cup raisins
  • ¼ cup coconut flakes

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees and grease a 9 by 13 baking dish.
  • Combine oats, salt, cinnamon and chia seeds in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add in coconut oil, honey and vanilla, stir well.
  • Pour the granola into the prepared baking dish and spread it out in an even thin layer.
  • Bake for 20 minutes and then stir in nuts and sprinkle shredded coconut on top.
  • Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Allow to cool completely, add raisins, then transfer to an airtight container for storage.

Notes

  • Bake your granola at a low temperature to prevent burning. Low and slow baking gives a perfectly golden, crunchy granola.
  • Spread the granola out in a thin layer on the baking dish so the granola will cook evenly.
  • Feel free to mix and match any of the add-ins. I usually use whatever I have on hand at the time when I make this recipe.
  • Don't add any dried fruit (like raisins or dried cranberries) into the granola until after it's baked. That will keep the fruit soft and chewy.
  • Granola is best stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • I recommend a glass or cast iron baking dish rather than a baking sheet. The granola tends to stick to cookie sheets.
