Instructions
- Set one oven rack towards the top of the oven and one towards the bottom. Preheat the oven to 350ºF/180ºC
- Toss all the ingredients together in a big bowl until thoroughly combined
- Divide the mixture between two rimmed baking sheets, spreading it out into a single layer. Cook for 15 minutes. Switch the position of the baking sheets and cook for 5-10 minutes more. (See notes below for more on cooking times)
- Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheets.
- Store in airtight glass jars or plastic containers. Granola will keep for 2 weeks.
Notes
- You can use olive oil in place of coconut oil: Simply use an equal amount of extra virgin olive oil in place of coconut oil.
- Mix-ins: Add 1/3 cup ground flax seed for more healthy goodness. Substitute 2/3 cup of mixed seeds such as pumpkin and sunflower, for 2/3 cup of the oats. Add dried fruit such as raisins or dried cranberries, after the granola is cooked and cooled.
- How long to cook granola: Ovens can vary. If you want to get your granola golden brown without the risk of burning it, turn off the oven after 20 minutes and continue to toast the granola in the residual heat of the oven, checking it every 5 minutes, until you achieve your desired level of toasting.
