Granola Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) to prepare for baking the granola.

2. 2

   Combine Dry Ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, nuts, seeds, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

   Mix Wet Ingredients

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey (or maple syrup), coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. 4

   Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

   Pour the wet ingredient mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir until all the oats and nuts are thoroughly coated.

5. 5

   Spread on Baking Sheet

   Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the granola mixture evenly across the sheet.

6. 6

   Bake the Granola

   Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking. Watch closely to prevent burning.

7. 7

   Add Dried Fruit

   Once the granola is golden brown, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Stir in the dried fruit.

8. 8

   Cool and Store

   Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, store in an airtight container.
