Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans, chopped)

1 cup unsweetened puffed rice or cereal

1 cup dried apples, chopped (or apple chips)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips or raisins (optional, for added sweetness)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, puffed rice, and dried apple pieces. Stir until evenly mixed.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until all dry ingredients are coated with the wet mixture.

          Bake: Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking. The granola should be golden and fragrant.

            Cool and Mix: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. If desired, mix in chocolate chips or raisins at this stage for an extra treat.

              Store: Once completely cool, transfer the granola snack mix to an airtight container. It can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks.

                Serve: Enjoy as a crunchy snack on its own, sprinkle over yogurt, or mix it with fresh fruits for a delightful breakfast!
