Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet.

2. In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients except dates.

3. In another bowl, whisk melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon.

4. Combine wet and dry ingredients and toss to coat evenly.

5. Spread mixture on the baking sheet in a single layer.

6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden. To create large, crunchy clusters, press the granola down before baking and do not stir it. Let it cool completely on the pan before breaking it apart.

7. Cool completely and stir in chopped dates. Store in a jar.

Notes

You can substitute pecans or walnuts with cashews or hazelnuts. To make it sugar-free, use a few drops of liquid monk fruit instead of maple syrup. Add cacao nibs or dried cranberries for variety.

Always add dried fruit after the granola has baked and cooled completely. Baking dried fruit makes it unpleasantly hard and can cause it to burn.
