Perfect for those seeking a healthy, homemade solution to store-bought granola, this recipe is gluten-free (with certified oats) and customizable to suit your taste.
Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (165Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, chopped almonds, shredded coconut, and sunflower seeds.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down lightly with a spatula to form a compact layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through baking, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. This will allow it to crisp up.
After the granola has cooled, stir in the dried cranberries.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
