Preheat the #oven{} to 160°C and line a #baking sheet{} with #parchment paper{}.

In a #bowl{}, combine @old-fashioned rolled oats{360%g}, @chopped nuts{120%g}, @coconut flakes{40%g}, @cinnamon{5%ml}, and @salt{2.5%ml}.

In a separate #bowl{}, whisk together @neutral oil{120%ml}, @honey{80%ml} or @maple syrup{80%ml}, @brown sugar{50%g}, and @vanilla extract{5%ml}.

Pour the wet mixture over the oats and stir until everything is coated. Spread the mixture in an even layer on the #baking sheet{}. Press it down lightly with a #spatula{} if you want bigger clusters.

Bake for ~baking{25-30%minutes}, stirring once halfway through, until the granola is golden brown.

Let it cool completely (~cooling{20%minutes}). This is when it gets crunchy. Stir in @dried fruit{120%g}.

Store in an airtight container for about 2 to 3 weeks.
