Servings: 6 servings
Cost: $3.23
Equipment
- Rimmed sheet pan
Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons light brown sugar lightly packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, add oats and sliced almonds.
- In a separate bowl, add honey, melted coconut oil, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt. Microwave in 20-second bursts until easy to stir. Whisk until combined.
- Pour the honey mixture over the oat mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until oats are well and evenly coated.
- Spread granola in a flat, even layer on the sheet pan. Bake for 21 minutes, stirring every 7 minutes. After each stir, re-spread into a flat, even layer.
- Remove from the oven. It may seem soft, but it will harden as it cools. Let the granola cool completely at room temperature (about 2–3 hours). Once cooled, stir in the toasted coconut flakes and dried cranberries.
- (Optional) Here’s the secret I swear by: Transfer cooled granola to a large freezer bag. Press out the air, seal, and freeze. Enjoy straight from the freezer; no need to thaw (it's SO good and crunchy!)

Notes
Storage: Store the granola at room temperature in an airtight container kept in a cool, dry place. It will stay fresh for 3 to 4 weeks. For longer storage, use a freezer-safe bag with the air pressed out and freeze for 3 to 6 months. Avoid refrigerating the granola, as it softens and loses its crunch.
