What you need:

  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil

  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup dried fruit*

*Some of our favourite dried fruits are cherries, raisins, cranberries, and apricots (cut in smaller pieces).

What you do:

  1. Preheat oven to 300F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the oats, nuts, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine the coconut oil, almond butter and maple syrup. Heat over low heat. Whisk together until melted and well blended.
  4. Combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients, until evenly moist. Spread on the baking sheet in one single layer.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes, checking and mixing every 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, add your dried fruit and return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes. Granola is done when it is browning and dry. Remove from the oven and let dry completely at room temperature.
