Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, sliced almonds, coconut flakes, and sea salt.
In a small bowl, whisk together the warmed honey, oil, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and toss until evenly coated.
Spread the mixture thinly and evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.
Once cooled, stir in the chopped dried figs.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

– For even baking, spread the granola mixture thinly and stir halfway through to prevent uneven browning.

– Customize with mix-ins like dried cranberries, raisins, chocolate chips, or other nuts like pecans, walnuts, or cashews.

– To make vegan: substitute honey with maple syrup and use coconut oil instead of vegetable oil.

– Toast briefly in the oven to restore crunchiness if the granola loses its texture over time avoid microwaving.
