½ Tbsp vanilla extract (or almond or coconut extract)
2 cups rolled oats (quick cooking oats also work ok - but do not use instant oats)
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup sliced almonds (optional - if I don't have these I just add another cup of oats)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl, mixing well to evenly coat ingredients. Spread the mixture on a large sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 350 for 10 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees. Stir granola with a spatula and bake for another 10-12 minutes. Let cool fully on tray on cooling rack before packing in airtight containers for storage.
