Ingredients

• 3 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Raw almonds
• 0.5 cup Raw sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 12 pieces Medjool dates (pitted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 0.25 cup Water
• 0.5 cup Chopped dried fruit (e.g., raisins, cranberries, or apricots)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, raw almonds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

In a food processor, blend the pitted dates, vanilla extract, coconut oil, and water until it forms a smooth paste.

Step 4

Pour the date mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly with a spatula or your hands to ensure every piece is coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down gently to create clusters.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove and stir gently to ensure even baking. Press the mixture back down lightly and return to the oven.

Step 7

Continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes to avoid burning.

Step 8

Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.

Step 9

Once cooled, stir in the chopped dried fruit and store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

Step 10

Serve with milk, yogurt, or enjoy as a snack!
