Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds, roughly chopped
- 1 cup Raw pecans, roughly chopped
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
- 1 cup Coconut flakes
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup Dried apricots, chopped
- 0.5 cup Raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut flakes, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is fully combined and warmed.
Pour the maple syrup mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Stir with a spatula or spoon until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down lightly with the back of the spatula.
Bake the granola in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Once cooled, add the dried cranberries, chopped dried apricots, and raisins. Stir to distribute the dried fruits throughout the granola.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a crunchy breakfast with milk or yogurt, or as a grab-and-go snack.
