1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and set it aside.
To a large bowl, add the oats, pistachios, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Mix to combine.
Next, add the oil and honey. Mix well.
Dump the mixture out onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Press into an even layer.
Bake for 30 minutes, tossing halfway through.
Remove from the oven and add the coconut to the granola. Stir well and return to the oven for another 5 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool slightly. Break up the granola lightly when cooled.
Once the granola is completely cooled, add the apricots and optional white chocolate chips.
Store the granola in an airtight container until ready to use, up to 1 week.

Notes

Be sure to bake your coconut for much less time than the rest of the ingredients. Coconut can brown very quickly and become burnt.

Serve with plant or dairy milk and eat it like cereal, bake into waffles or muffins, or enjoy with yogurt and fresh fruit.
