- Melt the coconut oil and add it to the oats, then add the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
- With a wooden spoon or spatula mix well all the ingredients, then spread them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
- Compact them and press them well with a spoon. They should cover the whole surface of the baking sheet, so the layer shouldn't be too thick. but also not too thin otherwise you won't get clumps.
- Bake in the pre-heated oven for 20-25 minutes.
- Let it cool completely, then transfer to a jar with a spoon.
Notes
If you don't like salted chocolate, I suggest you decrease the amount of salt in the recipe to ¼ tsp.
Store the granola in an airtight container in a cool and dry place.
