👩‍🍳 Method

1. 🔥 Preheat oven to 180–200°C. Line a baking tray with unbleached baking paper. Use 2 trays if needed.
2. 🥣 Add oats to a large mixing bowl.
3. 🔪 Roughly chop all nuts and seeds and add to the oats. Chunky pieces are fine!
4. 🥄 Melt coconut oil in a small saucepan, then stir in honey until partially combined.
5. ➕ Pour oil-honey mixture into the oat mixture and stir until evenly coated.
6. 🏋️ Spread mixture evenly on the baking tray. Larger clumps are okay for chunkier granola.
7. ⏱ Bake for 20 minutes, then turn mixture over with a spatula or egg lifter for even baking.
8. 🔁 Check after another 20 minutes; bake further 10–20 minutes if needed until golden brown.
9. ❄️ Remove from oven, cool completely, then store in an airtight glass jar.

✅ Granola keeps for months in an airtight jar. Enjoy with yoghurt, milk, or fruit of choice!
