Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, sliced almonds, and pecan halves.
Add the ground cinnamon and salt to the oat mixture, stirring well to ensure even distribution.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the honey and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl, and mix thoroughly until the oats and nuts are well coated with the honey mixture.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking. The granola is done when it is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the tray to achieve maximum crunch.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries.
Store the cinnamon granola in an airtight container for up to two weeks at room temperature.
