Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Author Sonja

Ingredients

  • 8 cups organic rolled oats
  • 3 cups chopped walnuts almonds or pecans (I use 1 cup of each)
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1 cup coconut oil
  • 1 cup honey maple syrup for vegan
  • 1-2 cups unsweetened large flake coconut
  • 1-2 cups dried cranberries or dried fruit of choice
  • optional 3 T TriMix 1 T Wheat Germ, 1 T Wheat Bran, 1 T Oat Bran

Instructions

  1. Grease bottom and side of crock-pot with coconut oil.
  2. Place oats and nuts in the crock-pot, and stir.
  3. Heat coconut oil until melted (about 1 minute in the microwave).
  4. Pour coconut oil and honey over the oat mixture, and stir.
  5. Cover and cook on high with the lid slightly cracked (I use a popsicle stick).
  6. Stir every 15 minutes well, making sure you stir the granola off the bottom of the crock-pot well.
  7. Cook until desired (I usually cook it for 45 minutes to 1 hour, but you could go longer to get a more dried, golden brown look, about 2-2 1/2 hours).
  8. Stir in coconut flakes and dried fruit.
  9. Cool, and store in airtight containers for up to a month. **12/13 update: If you want an even crunchier granola, after cooking the granola, cool for about 3 hours in the crock-pot in the "off" position, stirring every hour or so before placing it in an airtight container.
