Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, stir together rolled oats, shredded coconut, sliced almonds, chia seeds, flax seeds, cinnamon, and salt.
2¼ cups rolled oats, 1 cup shredded coconut, 1 cup sliced almonds, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, ⅛ teaspoon salt, ¼ cup chia seeds, ¼ cup flax seeds, ½ cup chopped dried apricots
In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. If your coconut oil is solid, melt it first before combining.
½ cup honey, ½ cup coconut oil, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well coated.
Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
After 25 minutes, stir the granola again and return it to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, stirring every 3-4 minutes to prevent burning. Keep an eye on it—the last 10 minutes are crucial to get that perfect crunch without burning. Take a little taste test each time you stir to check if it’s crispy enough.
Once it’s done, let it cool completely before enjoying. The granola will get even crunchier as it cools.
