Ingredients
1 1/2 cups (135 g) rolled oats
1/2 cup (40 g) unsweetened coconut flake (large flakes are best)
1/2 cup (54 g) slivered raw almonds (or raw almonds, chopped)
1/2 cup (50 g) raw pecan halves
1 Tbsp (12 g) coconut sugar
1/4 tsp sea salt
3 Tbsp (45 ml) coconut oil
1/3 cup (80 ml) maple syrup
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
optional: 1/4 cup dried fruit (blueberry) and extra nuts (walnuts, pistachio but-meats), 1 Tbsp cinnamon

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Add oats, coconut, almonds, pecans, coconut sugar, and salt to a large mixing bowl - stir to combine.
To a small saucepan, add coconut oil and maple syrup. Warm over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, whisking frequently until the two are totally combined and there is no visible separation. Add vanilla, whisk once more.
Immediately pour over the dry ingredients and stir to combine until all oats and nuts are thoroughly coated. Arrange on a large baking sheet and spread into an even layer.
Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from oven and turn the pan around so the other end goes into the oven first (so it bakes evenly).
Bake 5-7 minutes more, watching carefully as to not let it burn. You'll know it's done when the granola is golden brown and very fragrant.
Let cool completely before enjoying. Add dried fruit to the pan while the granola is cooling (optional). Break into clumps.

Personal Notes:
Great on-the-go snack to munch on, or with milk. Add hemp seeds and flax meal to make it healthier and full of fiber.
Store or gift in mason jar or air-tight container. Great with fresh fruit and yogurt or in a layered yogurt parfait.
Stir once or twice during baking, unless you prefer your granola chunky (in which case avoid stirring).
Store in a sealed bag or container at room temperature for 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
