Instructions
- 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.

Notes
- Don’t store warm granola—it will turn soft and lose its crunch.
- For big clusters, don’t stir too much and gently press the granola down before baking.
- For looser granola, stir well halfway and break up any clumps.
