Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds, chopped
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup golden raisins
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, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and sea salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly with the back of a spatula to create clumps.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking. Watch closely to avoid over-browning.
Once the granola is golden and fragrant, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It 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 can be kept at room temperature for up to two weeks.
