Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds, roughly chopped
- 1 cup Raw pecans, roughly chopped
- 1 cup Raw sunflower seeds
- 1 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 cup Maple syrup
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Dried cranberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds, and shredded coconut. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a smaller bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it lightly with a spatula to create a compact layer for maximum clumpiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on the edges to prevent burning.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, the granola will crisp up and form clusters.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries for a pop of color and sweetness.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container or jar for storage. Enjoy with yogurt, milk, or as a standalone snack!
