Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, almonds, coconut, brown sugar, wheat germ, flax seed, cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, combine coconut oil and honey. Heat until warm and coconut oil is liquid. Add the vanilla and then pour over the dry ingredients. With clean hands, mix thoroughly.
Spread granola evenly on the baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, stirring at 10 minutes and at 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let it cool completely before touching it (do NOT stir!).
Once cooled, break into whatever size chunks you want and then store in an airtight container.
Eat plain, with milk, on top of smoothies, or with yogurt.
Notes
*Wheat germ can be found in the grocery store near the flour.
