In large bowl,mix entire bag of oats with coconut and almonds
2
In separate bowl, melt coconut oil, then add agave and vanilla. Stir to mix.
3
Add the wet ingredients to the dry, mixing thoroughly to distribute evenly and wet all dry ingredients. Let sit for 10 minutes
4
Pre-heat oven(s) to 300F. Spread the granola mix across 2 or 3 parchment paper lined baking sheets.
5
Bake at 300F for 15 min. Take out and stir.
6
Return to oven for 15 more minutes, then take out and stir again. If you''ve used multiple baking sheets per oven, you''ll want to rotate the placement for even toasting.

The rest is up to you...at this point, I usually turn the oven down to 175 and let it bake for another 30 minutes. The goal is to get the granola "toasted" to your preference and for it to be fully dried out so it will not mold in storage.

The result should be a nicely toasted granola that will not be clumpy -- the oats, almonds and coconut will remain separate. Manage the amounts of Agave and Vanilla to your family''s taste.
