Ingredients

  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup shredded coconut I used sweetened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted macadamia nuts roughly chopped
  • 3 Tbsp coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup dried apricots chopped
  • 1/3 cup dried pineapple chopped
  • 1/3 cup dried golden raisins
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line a large baking sheet with non-stick foil.
  • In a large bowl, mix oats, coconut, coconut sugar, macadamia nuts, and salt together.
  • Add in melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, almond extract, maple syrup, and honey. Stir until well combined.
  • Spread the granola onto the baking sheet in an even layer.
  • Bake granola for 30-35 minutes. Every 10 minutes, take the granola out of the oven and stir/flip granola (this helps it bake evenly). Press granola back into an even layer and put back into the oven.
  • Allow granola to cool about 20 minutes. Transfer granola into a ziplock bag or airtight container (if any granola is in large chunks, carefully break it into smaller pieces, if desired). Add in dried fruit.
  • Enjoy!
