Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup pecans (chopped)
- 1 cup slivered almonds
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup coconut flakes (unsweetened)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup dried cranberries
- 0.75 cup golden raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, pecans, slivered almonds, pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and sea salt. Stir to mix evenly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly to ensure all the dry ingredients are coated.
Spread the mixture evenly over the prepared baking sheet, pressing it gently to form a compact layer for chunkier granola.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Watch carefully toward the end to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and golden raisins.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It will keep fresh for up to 2 weeks at room temperature.
