1

Gather Your Ingredients

Before we dive into granola-making heaven, let's gather all the ingredients we'll need. You'll need 2 cups of old-fashioned oats, 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (like almonds, walnuts, or pecans), 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of coconut oil (melted), 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. If you want to add extra flavor, feel free to throw in some cinnamon or nutmeg as well!

2

Mix it Up

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, chopped nuts, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Now it's time to get your muscles working! Use a wooden spoon or clean hands to mix everything together until all the ingredients are evenly coated. You want every single oat to be a granola superstar!

3

Bake to Perfection

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the granola mixture evenly on it. Pop it into the oven and let the magic happen for 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on it and give it a gentle stir every now and then to ensure even browning. Once it turns golden brown and smells heavenly, your homemade granola is ready!

4

Cool and Store

Breathe in the wonderful aroma of freshly baked granola as you take it out of the oven. But wait! Don't dig in just yet. Let it cool completely on the baking sheet. This will help it crisp up nicely. Once cooled, transfer your homemade granola into an airtight container and store it at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Although, let's be honest, it probably won't last that long!
