Instructions
Preheat oven to 250 (the lowest my oven is marked is 260, so I used that.) Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat liner.
In a large bowl, mix together the oats, coconut, sunflower seeds, and brown sugar.
In a separate bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine honey, butter, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and stir until combined. Spread mixture evenly on the baking sheet.
Bake for 30 minutes, stir and return to the oven to bake for another 30-45 minutes. The granola will be fragrant and slightly crisp.
Remove from the oven and let the granola cool, this will be about 1 hour. Break any large pieces up and store the granola in an airtight container.
Notes
I only had 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds on hand when I made this, but you could add 1/2 cup or even up to 1 cup.Inspired by my favorite Dark Chocolate Granola.
