Ingredients

2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup flax meal
1/2 cup sunflower seeds (out of shells), salted or unsalted
1 cup raw whole almonds (out of shells)
1 cup raw pecan halves (out of shells)
1/2 cup honey or pure maple syrup
1/3 cup melted coconut oil (refined if you don’t want it to taste like coconut)
1/3 cup water, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2/3 cup raisins or any dried sweetened fruit

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper (not wax paper).
In a small bowl, mix together the honey, melted coconut oil, water, vanilla, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the oats, coconut, flax meal, sunflower seeds, almonds, and pecans.
Pour the honey mixture over the oats and stir until the granola mixture is coated in the honey and seasonings.
Spread the granola mixture into a single even layer on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake at 300°F for 60-70 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. The granola is done when it’s browned around the edges and starting to crisp, the kitchen will also start to smell like toasted nuts and oats.
Remove the granola from the oven and sprinkle on the raisins. Let cool completely before transferring to an airtight container.

Notes

The granola will appear a little soft after baking, but will crisp up as it cools.
Add any dried fruit to the granola after baking. Baking the fruit will burn it. If you're adding chocolate chips, add to the granola after it's cooled.
