How to Make Microwave Granola

Combine oats, nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, and spices in a large microwave-safe bowl.
Drizzle with melted coconut oil and maple syrup; mix until evenly coated.
Microwave on high for 2 minutes.
Remove from microwave and stir well.
Microwave for another 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and fragrant. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove from microwave and immediately stir in dried fruit.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool completely.
Once cooled, break into clusters and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
