Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 1 cup Raw pecans
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened coconut flakes
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Dried cranberries
- 1 cup Raisins
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, pecans, coconut flakes, ground cinnamon, and salt. If using chia seeds, add them now.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey and coconut oil until fully melted and combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything is well-coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly to encourage clumping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking. Keep an eye on it during the last 5 minutes to prevent over-browning.
Once the granola is golden brown and fragrant, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
After the granola has cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and raisins. Break up any large clusters if necessary.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Enjoy it with yogurt, milk, or as a snack on its own!
