Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries or raisins (optional)
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, walnuts, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and brown sugar until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients over the oat mixture and stir thoroughly, making sure all the oats and walnuts are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
Remove the granola from the oven once it is golden brown and fragrant. It will crisp up as it cools.
Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet, then stir in the optional dried cranberries or raisins if desired.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It will keep fresh for up to 2 weeks.
