Homemade Vegan Granola with Nuts and Coconut

It’s so easy to make granola at home, why would you buy that crappy store-bought stuff that is full of refined sugar and cost too much anyways. Here’s a recipe you will love and most the ingredients can be bought in the bulk bins (i.e. cheaper and you can buy just what you need for the recipe).

Coconut Bliss Granola

3 cups rolled oats

1 cup raw sunflower seeds

1 cup shredded dried coconut, unsweetened

3/4 cup sliced almonds

1/2 cup raw walnuts, chopped if whole

1/4 cup raw sesame seeds

2 tablespoons cinnamon

1/2 cup safflower oil

1/2 cup maple syrup

1 teaspoon almond extract

1 cup raisins (optional)

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl whisk together wet ingredients. Pour wet into dry and combine thoroughly. Transfer to a 9×13 glass casserole dish and smooth evenly across the top. Bake for 50 minutes. Remove from oven and stir in raisins. Bake for another 10 minutes. Remove and cool. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
