This granola recipe is a delightful blend of oats, seeds, and coconut, lightly sweetened with honey and baked to perfection.
Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
In a saucepan, combine the butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stirring constantly prevents the mixture from burning.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and shredded coconut.
Ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed for consistent flavor.
Pour the melted butter mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
Mixing well ensures even baking and flavor distribution.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown.
Stirring halfway through baking prevents uneven browning.
Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet.
Allowing the granola to cool completely helps it become crisp.
Once cooled, stir in the raisins and transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage.
Adding dried fruits after baking prevents them from becoming hard or burnt.
