Ingredients

  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, sliced almonds, raisins, honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are coated.
  3. Spread the mixture evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and crispy.
