Ingredients
Method
- Pre-heat your oven to 360 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degree Celsius.
- Melt the coconut oil and honey together on the stove in a cast iron dutch oven or large sauce pan.
- Pour the oats into the coconut oil and honey. Mix everything together until the oats are completely saturated.
- Turn off the heat. Add in the seeds and nuts. Mix together until everything is completely covered. I usually add almonds, brazil nuts, walnuts, hemp seeds, and linseed.
- Pour a thin layer of the granola into a 9x13” baking dish or parchment-lined baking tray. Make sure not to over fill the dish or tray. If necessary, use two or three dishes or trays to make sure the granola can be easily baked on all sides.
- Put the granola into the oven for about 45 minutes. The exact timing will depend on how thick or thin the layer of granola is on your baking tray, so just keep an eye on it.
- Every 15-20 minutes, use a wooden spoon to move around the granola. This helps to ensure all sides become toasty.
- After about 45 minutes, your granola should be done. Turn off the heat and let it sit to cool. Store in a glass jar or freeze in a glass container or ziplock.
