Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 °F (163 °C) and line a jelly roll pan (10″x15″ or 25cm x 38 cm) with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, butter or coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, almond or coconut extract, and salt. Add in the oats and stir until mixed well.
Spread the granola evenly on the prepared jelly roll pan, ensuring no granola pieces are left off to the side.
Bake for 12-16 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until the edges start to brown. Stir and bake for another 5-10 minutes until evenly lightly browned. The granola will remain soft but will harden while cooling. Test for doneness with a small spoonful, cooling in the freezer to check crispness.
Once done, let the granola cool completely on the pan for about 30 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container for storage, lasting up to 3-4 weeks.

Notes

Substitute vegan butter or oil for a plant-based version.
Experiment with different extracts for unique flavors.
Add nuts or dried fruits for extra texture and taste.
