Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, almonds, pecans, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the melted coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly to coat everything evenly.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly to create clumps.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crunchier as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container and store it at room temperature for up to two weeks.
