Spiced Crock-Pot Granola
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 5 cups rolled oats (not quick cooking)
- 1 cup coconut
Directions:
Melt oil in Crock-Pot, then stir in other ingredients in order. Cook on low for 5 hours or until brown, stirring occasionally. Make sure you keep the cover cracked on the Crock-Pot. The more frequently you stir, the finer the consistency. If you prefer clumpier, granola stir less.
Options:

- chocolate chips
- whatever you desire
This is good as a hot or cold cereal, as a snack, a topping for yogurt, or made into granola bars. See below.
