Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 cup sliced almonds

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (your choice)

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins (optional for sweetness)

1/4 cup chia seeds (optional for added nutrition)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.

    Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, shredded coconut, sliced almonds, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and optional chia seeds. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

      Prepare the Wet Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Drizzle the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Gently stir until the dry ingredients are well coated and sticky, forming a cohesive mixture.

          Spread on the Baking Sheet: Transfer the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly. Press down lightly to form clumps, which will enhance the granola's texture during baking.

            Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Stir the granola once halfway through to ensure even browning. Keep a close watch during the final minutes, as it can quickly go from golden to burnt.

              Cool and Store: Once baked to a golden brown, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the sheet. If you chose to add dried cranberries or raisins, fold them in once the granola is cool. Store your granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

                Serve and Enjoy: This delightful toasty almond coconut granola can be enjoyed as a topping over yogurt, as a nutritious cereal alternative, or simply as a delicious snack straight out of the jar!
