Preheat the oven to 250 F.

In a large mixing bowl, place the oats, cashews, coconut, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and stir to combine.

In a separate bowl, mix the maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla.

Pour maple syrup mixture over the oat mixture and stir until coated.

Pour the mixture onto a rimmed cookie sheet and bake at 250 degrees for about 60 minutes, stirring every fifteen minutes so the mixture does not burn.

Cool to room temperature before mixing in dried fruit. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. 

This recipe makes roughly 2 pounds of granola or 6 generous cups. 🙂
