Description

This homemade granola recipe is packed with wholesome ingredients and delivers a delicious crunchy texture.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1½ cups coconut flakes
  • 1 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1/2 cup ground flax seeds
  • 1/2 cup sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 cup melted coconut oil
  • 2 cups honey
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, coconut, sunflower seeds, almonds, ground flax seeds, sesame seeds, and cinnamon. Mix well to combine.
  3. In a blender, add the warm water, melted coconut oil, honey, vanilla, and salt. Blend until combined.
  4. Pour your wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix until the oats are completely covered in the liquid.
  5. Spray a large baking sheet with pan spray, then spread the granola evenly onto your prepared baking sheet pan.
  6. Put into your preheated oven and bake for about 1½ hours, stirring every 30 minutes. You want the granola to be lightly golden brown.
  7. Once baked, remove from the oven and stir once more. Let cool completely, then feel free to break up the granola with your hands and transfer to an airtight container. Enjoy!
