Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, shredded coconut, and ground cinnamon; stir to distribute evenly.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, packed brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Heat the wet mixture, stirring constantly, until the brown sugar has dissolved and the mixture begins to bubble slightly.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately pour the liquid mixture over the oat mixture.
  6. Stir thoroughly until every oat and coconut flake is evenly coated with the sweet mixture.
  7. Spread the mixture out into an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring gently every 5 minutes to ensure even browning and prevent burning.
  9. Remove from the oven when the granola is golden brown and fragrant; allow it to cool completely on the pan.
  10. Once completely cool and crisp, stir in the raisins.
  11. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
