INGREDIENTS

  • Nuts and seeds

    • 🥜 1 ¼ cups almonds, divided
    • 🌻 1 ¼ cups sunflower seeds, divided
    • 2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut

  • Fruit

    • 🍑 1 cup diced dried apricots

  • Sweeteners

    • 🍯 ½ cup honey

  • Spices and seasonings

    • 🌰 ¼ cup ground cinnamon, or as needed
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt

  • Oils

    • 🥥 1 ½ cups coconut oil

STEPS

1

Place 3/4 cups almonds and 3/4 cups sunflower seeds into a food processor; chop until nuts are in 1/4-inch pieces for about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from food processor and pour into a bowl. Place remaining almonds and sunflower seeds into the processor; roughly chop into larger pieces for about 1 minute. Mix these with shredded coconut and diced apricots.

2

Combine coconut oil, honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat; cook until the mixture bubbles and its color lightens, about 300 seconds.

3

Pour the coconut oil mixture over the fruit and nut mix. Stir until the combination takes on a wet sand consistency, roughly 60 seconds.

4

Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Spread the granola mixture onto the sheet. Cover with another sheet of waxed paper and press down until tightly packed.

5

Let bars cool until hardened over 2 to 3 hours. Once firm, cut into desired shapes.
