Ingredients

• 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup raw almonds
• 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup raw sunflower seeds
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 0.5 cup golden raisins
• 0.5 cup dried mango, chopped
• 0.5 cup honey
• 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°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, almonds, unsweetened shredded coconut, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Do not boil. Remove from heat and stir in the ground cinnamon and salt.

Step 4

Pour the warm honey mixture over the dry ingredients. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down gently to form an even layer.

Step 6

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring gently halfway through to ensure even toasting. For a clumpier texture, avoid over-stirring.

Step 7

Once golden brown and fragrant, remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet without disturbing to enhance clumping.

Step 8

Once cooled, stir in the golden raisins and chopped dried mango pieces.

Step 9

Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It will keep fresh for up to 2 weeks at room temperature or longer if stored in the refrigerator.
