Ingredients

• 3 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Chopped nuts (such as almonds or pecans)
• 1 cup Unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 cup Butter
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, and coconut flakes. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar, honey, and salt. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour the caramel mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula to mix everything together, ensuring the oats, nuts, and coconut are evenly coated.

Step 6

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly with the back of a spoon or spatula.

Step 7

Bake the granola for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until it turns golden brown. Keep an eye on it during the final few minutes to prevent burning.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely without stirring. This will allow it to form clumps.

Step 9

Once cooled, break the granola into pieces and store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
