Nutty Fruit Free Granola

Ingredients

• 2 cups old fashioned oats
• 1 cup unsweetened dried shredded coconut
• 1 cup slivered almond
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1/2 cup unsalted sunflower seeds (approximate-I just throw in a hand full or two)
• 1/2-1 cup ecological no sugar corn flakes (optional)
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup honey (I prefer acacia honey)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 275F/135°C.

2. 2

   In a large bowl toss oatmeal, coconut, nuts, and sunflower seeds together.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl whisk together oil, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla.

4. 4

   Pour liquid mixture over oats and stir until everything is coated.

5. 5

   Pour mixture into a large rimmed baking sheet. I also cover the baking sheet with baking paper but it's not necessary if you have a non-stick pan.

6. 6

   Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, stirring once or twice. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn.

7. 7

   Let it cool completely. Blend in cornflakes if using.

8. 8

   Store in an airtight container.
