Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds (chopped)
- 1 cup raw pecans (chopped)
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 0.75 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips (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 rolled oats, almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir well.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and press it down slightly with the back of a spoon for clumpier textures.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden and fragrant. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crisp as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and optional mini chocolate chips.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for longer freshness.
