How to make this granola recipe
Preheat oven to 250 degrees, F.
In a saucepan, add the honey and coconut oil and heat over medium low heat. Stir until melted and well combined, then remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Meanwhile in a large bowl, stir the oats, cinnamon, and sea salt until combined.
Pour the melted coconut oil and honey mixture over the oats and stir until well coated and combined.
Spread the granola mixture evenly over a large sheet pan.
Optional: use parchment paper for less mess and easy cleanup!
Add the sheet pan with the granola mixture to the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour. Stir the granola every 15-20 minutes.
Serving & storing
Allow the granola to cool completely before storing.
I like to store ours in Mason jars with plastic re-useable lids.
