Yields: 8 servings

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 25-30 minutes

Ingredients:

 * 5 cups rolled oats

 * 1 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans, etc.)

 * 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

 * 1/4 cup sunflower seeds

 * 1/4 cup sesame seeds

 * 1/4 cup chia seeds (optional)

 * 1/4 cup honey

 * 1/4 cup melted coconut oil

 * 1/4 cup maple syrup

 * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 * 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

 * 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

 * Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

 * Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds (if using), cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.

 * Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

 * Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until all the oats are evenly coated.

 * Spread on baking sheet: Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

 * Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.

 * Cool and store: Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking it into clusters. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

 * Customize your granola: Add your favorite dried fruits, seeds, or spices to make it your own.

 * Make it gluten-free: Use certified gluten-free oats.

 * Make it nut-free: Substitute the nuts with seeds or leave them out entirely.

 * Make it vegan: Use vegan butter or oil instead of coconut oil.
