Ingredients

  • 6 cups Old Fashion Oats
  • Approximately 2 cups of the following:
    • Pepitas (Pumpkin Seeds) raw, unsalted
    • Pecans – unsalted (chopped)
    • Coconut Flakes (unsweetened)
    • Almonds (slivered, unsalted)
  • 2 Tbsp Cinnamon
  • ½ cup ground flax seed
  • 1 ½ cups Local Organic Honey (I used an Orange Blossom)
  • 3 Tbsp Virgin Coconut Oil
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • (About) 1 ½ Cups dried apricots (diced)
  • Parchment paper

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees
  2. Combine first 7 ingredients in large bowl (Oats, pepitas, pecans, coconut flakes, almonds, cinnamon, Ground Flax Seed). Mix together so everything is combined
  3. In a medium saucepan add honey, brown sugar, coconut oil and vanilla extract. Heat until brown sugar is dissolved.
  4. Pour honey mixture over oats mixture. Stir until all dry ingredients are covered in the honey mixture. Place parchment paper on 4-5 cooking sheets (I have to do this in batches). Pour single layer of oats mixture on cookie sheets.
  5. Place in 300 degree preheated oven for 30 minutes – stirring every 10 minutes. (VERY IMPORTANT to stir every 10 minutes)
  6. After granola is cooked, take off hot cookie sheet and spread mixture to cool.
  7. Add diced apricots once granola is completely cooled. Mix and enjoy!
