Method
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- I start by preheating the oven to 325°F (160°C).

- Lower heat helps the oats toast slowly instead of burning.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl I combine:

- rolled oats
- chopped almonds
- cashews
- pumpkin seeds
- cinnamon
- salt
- The smell of cinnamon already starts to come through at this stage.
Step 3: Add the Sweetener
- Next I pour in:

- honey
- melted coconut oil
- Then I mix everything well until the oats are lightly coated.
Step 4: Spread the Mixture
- I spread the mixture evenly on a baking tray.

- Try not to pile it too thick. A thin layer ensures even roasting.
Step 5: Bake Until Golden
- I bake it for 10–12 minutes, stirring halfway through.

- The oats slowly turn golden and the kitchen starts smelling like toasted nuts and warm honey.
Step 6: Add Raisins
- After removing from the oven, I stir in the raisins while the granola is still warm.

- Then I let it cool completely.
- This step is important because the granola becomes much crunchier as it cools.
