Ingredients
 
 

  • 4 cups traditional raw whole rolled oats (not quick or instant)
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened dried flaked coconut
  • 1/3 cup chopped or sliced almonds
  • 3 tablespoons sunflower seeds , unsalted (can use raw or roasted)
  • 1 tablespoon flax seeds
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1/3 cup raw honey
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin coconut oil or olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup assorted dried fruit (e.g., apricots, raisins, cranberries, cherries, pineapple, dates, etc.)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
    Place the oats in a large mixing bowl. Add the coconut flakes, nuts and seeds and stir to combine.
  • Place the honey and coconut oil in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for one minute and remove from heat. Stir in almond extract if using.
    Pour honey mixture over the oat mixture and stir until coated.
    Spread the granola out on a large baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly toasted, stirring every few minutes to prevent burning.
    Let the granola cool completely then add the dried fruits and stir to combine.
  • Store in an airtight container. Keeps for about a week. Serve with milk and fresh berries if desired.
