Naturally-Sweetened Ultra Crunchy Chunky Granola

Preheat oven to 325F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the coconut oil or nut butter, honey, coconut sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and sea salt. Whisk until coconut sugar is dissolved and the oil is well incorporated and smooth. Add your oats and any toppings and mix well with clean hands or a spatula. Transfer your sticky oat mixture onto the baking sheet and spread it out evenly while firmly pressing (packing) the oat mixture into the baking sheet. You can use the bottom of a glass or cup to push down on the granola. Bake for ~30 minutes, making sure to rotate the pan half way through cooking for even crisping. Allow granola to cool for a full hour before breaking it off or scooping it off the pan. This allows for clusters to form. You can even use your hands to break the granola into large clusters. Store at room temp in a glass container. If adding chocolate chips, do so after it's baked and fully cooled down.
