Instructions

Preheat and Prepare: Start by heating your oven to 325°F (160°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats and graham cracker crumbs, ensuring the base is evenly mixed to create that perfect textured foundation.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, gently warm the honey (or maple syrup) and coconut oil until melted and fluid, then stir in vanilla extract for flavor depth.
Coat and Bake: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients, stirring thoroughly so every oat and crumb is evenly coated. Spread the mixture onto the lined baking sheet in an even layer and bake for about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through for golden, crunchy goodness.
Add the Sweet Finishing Touches: Once out of the oven and slightly cooled, gently fold in the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips. The residual warmth will soften the marshmallows slightly, creating those gooey bits that make this granola unforgettable.

Notes

Even Toasting: Stir the granola halfway through baking to ensure every piece crisps evenly without burning.
Marshmallow Timing: Add marshmallows after baking to maintain their gooey texture without melting completely.
Storage Strategy: Store in an airtight container once completely cooled to keep the granola crisp and fresh.
Sweetness Balance: Adjust honey or syrup to your preferred level to keep the treat perfectly sweet but not overpowering.
Custom Crunch: Mix in your favorite nuts or seeds before baking to add extra protein and texture if desired.
