Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups regular rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup dried cranberries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 300°.  
  • In a large bowl, stir together oats, almonds, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.  Warm the coconut oil just to melt and whisk in honey and vanilla extract.  Gently pour over oat mixture and stir to mix, finishing with your hands to ensure all is evenly moistened.

Spread on a cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.

    Allow to cool in pan on wire rack. Gently break up granola and stir in dried cranberries.

      Notes

      Change things up a little by using chopped pecans or peanuts in place of the almonds, or try raisins instead of dried cranberries.  Also try stirring in mini chocolate or peanut butter chips, marshmallows, banana chips, or chopped dried pineapple or mango.
