1-First, preheat your oven to 300 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for even baking and easy cleanup. In a large bowl, mix the oats, shredded coconut, chopped almonds, pepitas, cinnamon, and salt until everything is evenly distributed. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and coconut extract to create a smooth liquid mixture.

2-Next, pour the liquid over the dry ingredients and stir well until all pieces are nicely coated. Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure it’s not too clumped for uniform toasting. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown, remembering to stir every 10 minutes to prevent burning and promote even cooking.

3-After baking, let the granola cool completely on the sheet before storing it, as this helps it crisp up. Store in an airtight container for up to one month, and enjoy it with yogurt or fresh fruit.
