Scale

Preheat oven to 300˚ F and line a tray with parchment paper.
Pit dates and combine with water in a small sauce pan. Cook until dates begin to break down and become soft. Once done, place in a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth.
Whisk together 1/4 cup of date mixture and melted coconut oil. Combine with oats, almonds, salt and cinnamon. Stir until oats are coated.
Pour out onto a covered baking tray and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes or so until oats are golden.

Tips and Tricks: If you like a little extra sweetness, add dried fruit to your granola after it bakes.
