This Homemade Granola is the perfect breakfast topping! It's made with oats, nuts, dried fruits, maple syrup, and coconut oil. Prep only takes 5 minutes, and the whole recipe is done in about 30 minutes (you just have to let the granola cool down after). This granola is amazing used to top yogurt, on its own with milk, in smoothie bowls, on top of fruit, in trail mix, or on top of ice cream!
Preheat the oven to 300℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Add oats, sunflower seeds, coconut, flaxseed, salt, and cinnamon to a large bowl and toss.
4 cups old fashioned oats, ½ cup sunflower seeds, 1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut, ¼ cup flaxseed meal, ½ tsp salt, 1 tsp cinnamon
Pour the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla over top of the dry ingredients, tossing to coat evenly.
½ cup melted coconut oil, ½ cup maple syrup, 1 tsp vanilla extract, ½ cup dried fruit (I used blueberries)
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, gently toss, and then bake for another 10 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and press the granola firmly down. Allow it to cool completely before breaking into large chunks. Add the dried fruit or chocolate chips after baking.
