Ingredients
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1/2 cup pecan halves
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped pitted dates
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- For the wet ingredients, combine the honey, coconut oil, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a small glass bowl. Microwave in 15-second increments, stirring in between, until melted and thoroughly combined.
- Toss the oats and nuts together in a large bowl. Pour the honey mixture over the top of the oats and nuts and toss well to evenly coat. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Give the pan a good stir and add the dates. Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the nuts are toasted. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
Notes
To store Homemade Granola, let it cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container, like a jar or resealable bag, to keep it fresh and crunchy. It will stay good at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
If you want it to last longer, you can freeze it in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw at room temperature or reheat briefly in the oven to restore its crispness.
