Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • ¾ cups nuts, roughly chopped pistachios, almonds, pecans
  • ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 tablespoons light brown
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup dried fruit cranberries, blueberries

Wet Ingredients

  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, toss the dry ingredients together EXCEPT for the dried fruit. (You'll add that after the granola has baked and cooled.)
  • Mix the wet ingredients in a small bowl and pour over the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix the two together. Spread the mixture evenly on the parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, stirring the mixture half way through the baking time. Remove from oven and let cool completely before breaking into pieces and adding the dried fruit.
  • Transfer to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 3 weeks.
