Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C

In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients (oats, nuts and seeds, coconut, salt, and cinnamon). Set aside.

In a pot on the stove add the coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Heat until the coconut oil is melted.

Pour the contents of the pot into the bowl of dry ingredients.

Stir until all dry ingredients are coated.

Pour the mixture onto a baking pan in an even layer of about ½ inch thickness.

Bake for 25 min or until golden brown and smelling deliciously toasted

Keep an eye on the granola while it bakes, especially if you have an oven that runs hot. It can go from brown to burnt quickly. Trust your nose!

Let the granola cool in the pan.

Once cooled, add ½ cup raisins if using and move the granola into a large jar or other airtight container for storage and start snacking!
