Servings: 32 servings (makes 8 cups)
Equipment
- 1 large (18x13) baking sheet
Ingredients
- 4 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup almonds roughly chopped
- 1 cup pecans roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
- 3/4 cup honey
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 300 °F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, almonds, pecans, raisins, cranberries, cinnamon and salt. Gently mix to combine.
- Next, add the coconut oil, honey and vanilla.Gently mix to combine.
- Pour the granola mixture onto your prepared baking sheet and using a spatula, spread the mixture into a 1-inch thick square.Press the granola down firmly with the spatula to keep it compact. This helps the granola clump together during baking, creating large, chunky clusters.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown, rotating the pan half way through cooking.For extra clumping, avoid stirring the granola while it bakes.
- Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet (about an hour) before breaking it into chunks which is crucial to form those large granola pieces.
- Using a spoon or your hands, break up the granola into desired size pieces.
- Store at room temperature in a resealable bag or sealed container.
