Instructions

- Add melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Spread onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave some packed together to create clusters.
- Bake for 1 hour, gently stir the granola, and then bake another 20-30 minutes depending on how crunchy you like the granola. It will get a little crunchier as it cools, too.
- Once the granola is cool, stir in any add-ins if you want and store in an airtight container for 2-3 weeks.
