Total Time 40 minutes mins
- 4 cups old fashioned rolled oats 12 oz/340 g
- 1 ½ cups raw pecans, chopped 7½ oz/213 g
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut 1 ½ oz/43 g

- 1 cup golden raisins 5 oz/142 g
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) fan assist. Set 2 rimmed baking sheets aside.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, pecans and coconut.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt and cinnamon, then pour over the oat mixture.
Mix the oats until they are thoroughly and evenly coated in the oil mixture.
Divide the granola between the two prepared baking sheets and spread out into a thin layer across the entire pan.
Bake for about 25 minutes, stirring the mixture halfway through, until the granola is evenly toasty brown.
Let cool completely in the pans, then combine the contents of both pans with the raisins.
Serve with milk or yogurt and fruit! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 weeks.
