Method
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, wheat germ, nuts, and seeds. Stir to mix evenly.
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Pour over the oat mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Press it down gently with a spatula — this helps create clusters.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden and fragrant. Watch carefully in the final 5 minutes — wheat germ can catch quickly.
- Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the pan without stirring — this is what creates the clusters. Once cool, break into pieces and stir in the dried fruit. Transfer to an airtight jar.
