Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats ~226 g
- ¾ cup whole almonds ~106 g
- ½ cup shelled pistachios ~60 g
- ½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes ~30 g
- ¼ cup raisins or chopped dates ~42 g
- 1 tbsp brown sugar ~13 g
- ⅛ tsp salt (approximate pinch)
- 3 tbsp coconut oil melted (~42 g)
- ¼ cup maple syrup ~78 g
Optional
- 1 tsp vanilla Optional (see Notes)
- 2 tsp cinnamon Optional; ~6 g
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 °F (160 °C) and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, stir together 2 cups rolled oats, ¾ cup whole almonds, ½ cup shelled pistachios, ½ cup coconut flakes, ¼ cup raisins or chopped dates, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and ⅛ teaspoon salt.
- In a small saucepan over low heat (or microwave-safe bowl), melt 3 tablespoons coconut oil. Whisk in ¼ cup maple syrup, then 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 teaspoons cinnamon if using.
- Pour the melted mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated. Press the granola firmly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, watching closely after 20 minutes so it doesn’t burn.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan—this allows it to crisp up. Break into clusters and store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
