This healthy homemade granola recipe is easy to make with only 8 ingredients in 30 minutes! It's gluten-free, dairy-free vegan and has no refined sugar! A delicious healthy breakfast or snack!
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet, set aside.
In a large bowl mix together oats, coconut, cinnamon, salt and pecans. Set aside.
Melt honey and coconut oil together in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat until smooth.
Remove from heat and add vanilla to warm coconut oil/honey mixture. Stir until combined.
Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients until all dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread on prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown, stirring the granola half way through baking time. It may feel soft when you remove it from the oven, but it gets harder and crunchier as it cools so please be careful and do not over bake!
Allow the granola to cool and eat it with your favorite yogurt or milk! Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes
Ingredient Substitutions
Coconut oil. Butter can be used in place of coconut oil as long as it complies with your dietary needs!
Honey. Any liquid sweetener should work great in this recipe. I have used honey and maple syrup (for a vegan option) with great results.
Old-Fashioned Oats. Quick-cooking oats can be substituted but you might need to add an extra TBS or two of coconut oil or sweetener! Steel cut oats do not work in this recipe.
Pecans. Chopped almonds or walnuts are also delicious options to use in this recipe. If you are allergic to nuts, simply increase the amount of oats/coconut by 1/2 cup.
Store/freeze
Store this granola in an airtight container (I suggest a glass jar) at room temperature for up to 3 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
