1/4 cup coconut oil

Instructions

Prep. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a large baking tray with a piece of parchment paper.
Puree. Add the quartered peaches to a blender or food processor and puree (you should have about 1 1/2 cups of puree, but even just 1 cup will work for this recipe). Add the brown sugar, coconut oil, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt, and process until smooth.
Toss. Add the oats, nuts, and flaxseed meal to a large bowl and toss to combine. Pour in the peach mixture, and toss to coat.
Bake. Spread the mixture out onto the prepared tray and bake 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, carefully toss the granola, and then return it to the oven to continue baking until golden, about 20 to 25 minutes more.
Cool. Cool to room temperature, and then break it into pieces (it will harden as it cools).

Notes

Recipe Yield and Serving Size: This recipe makes about 8 cups of granola, or 16 (1/2-cup) servings.
Storage: Once it's cooled, store homemade granola in an airtight container or glass jar at room temperature for up to 10 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. If freezing, I like to portion the granola into small bags so I can easily take out as many servings as I need at a time. Then let the granola thaw at room temperature for 15 minutes before eating.
Flaxseed Meal: For maximum nutrition, it's best to buy whole flaxseeds and grind them yourself right before you want to use them (a small coffee grinder works well for this).
