Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together the oats, chia seeds, and pinch of salt. Place the coconut oil and honey in small sauce pan and heat over medium low until melted, then stir to combine. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until the oats are well coated. Pour the oat mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into a single layer.
Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and pile the granola into a heap on one half of the pan and compress. This will make nice, big clusters. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack and break into chunks.
Store in an air tight container at room temperature, and enjoy for breakfast, as a snack, or with yogurt and fruit. Enjoy!
Notes
For gluten free granola, make sure you're using 100% certified gluten free oats.
The coconut oil may be substituted with your favorite oil.
Unsweetened coconut flakes can be found in the natural food section of most supermarkets, Whole Foods, and sometimes Trader Joe's. If you can't find it substitute with whatever coconut you have on hand.
