Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside to turn the mixed granola onto for baking after mixing.
Measure the oats, almonds, mixed nuts, pepitas, sunflower seeds, and dried cut apricots, dates, and golden raisins into a large bowl.
4 cups Oats, ½ cup Almonds, ½ cup Mixed Nuts, ¼ cup Pepitas, ¼ cup Sunflower seeds, ½ cup Dried Apricots, ½ cup Dried Dates, ½ cup Raisins
In a small bowl, mix the honey with the melted coconut oil, vanilla, and salt. Drizzle the honey and coconut oil mixture over the bowl of granola ingredients.
¾ cup Honey, 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract, ½ cup Coconut oil, ¼ teaspoon Salt
Mix all the ingredients until they are lightly coated with the honey mixture. It's easier to use a pair of disposable nitrile gloves and mix by hand.
Spread the Almond Vanilla granola on the parchment lined, rimmed sheet pan. Bake 18 minutes and check. If not golden brown on top, cook another 2 minutes. Don't over bake. You want just a light golden brown, as the granola will bake a little more after removing from the hot oven.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely to room temperature. This granola will become crisper as it cools. Store in mason jars, bail jars, or plastic Rubbermaid type storage containers.
To serve, alternate layers of Greek yogurt and Almond Vanilla granola in parfait cups or dessert glasses. Top with a drizzle of honey, or even a few mini chocolate chips.

Notes

DO NOT OVER BAKE! You granola will continue to cook on the hot sheetpan for up to 5 minutes. Remove when lightly golden.
