5cupsold-fashioned rolled oatsYou can use Gluten Free
1/2cupground flaxseedoptional
3/4cupcoconut oil or butter
3/4cuphoney
2Tablespoonsvanilla extract
2Tablespoonscinnamon
1 1/2cupsunsweetenedshredded coconut
1cupchopped nuts of your choice
1 to 2cupsdried fruitchocolate chips, or other mix-in of your choice
Instructions
In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil (or butter). Once it has turned into a liquid, mix in the honey to form your sauce.
Mix Oats, Flaxseed, nuts and cinnamon in your crockpot. Add the honey mixture as well as the vanilla and cinnamon. Stir thoroughly.
Allow the granola to cook on low for 2-4 hours. You may want to stir every hour to avoid burning. You are also going to leave the lid cracked a little to allow the moisture to escape.
Cooking times will greatly vary depending on your crock pot as they all cook at slightly different temps.
Allow to cool, then mix in the dried fruit and/or chocolate chips. Store in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for several weeks.
