Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds (chopped)
- 1 cup Raw pecans (chopped)
- 1 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Avocado oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Crystallized ginger (finely chopped)
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries or raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the spices and seeds.
In a separate smaller bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the avocado oil (or melted coconut oil) and maple syrup until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Stir thoroughly to ensure every dry ingredient is evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down lightly with a spatula to create clusters.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Watch carefully during the last five minutes to prevent over-browning.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the finely chopped crystallized ginger and dried cranberries or raisins if using.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Serve with yogurt, milk, or as a snack on its own.
