Ingredients:

2 cups whole rolled oats

1 cup choice of nuts/seeds, chopped pumpkin seeds, pistachios, almonds, cashews

½ cup unsweetened coconut, shredded or flaked

¼ cup chia seeds

½ tsp kosher salt

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla extract

¼ cup coconut oil, melted

1/3 cup honey

½ cup dried cranberries, cherries, or raisins

Preheat oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicon mat.

In a medium bowl, combine the oats, nuts/seeds, coconut, chia seeds, salt, and cinnamon.

Add vanilla, coconut oil, and honey.  Stir until combined.

Scoop the granola onto the baking sheet and press the mixture into a 1-inch-thick oval or rectangle to encourage clumping. 

Bake for 15 minutes, stir the mixture and bake for another 15 mins or until golden brown. 

Cool on a rack, break up into pieces &  mix in dried fruit.

Store in an air-tight container for 7-10 days
