Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly, ensuring all the dry ingredients are coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the tray from the oven and gently stir the granola to ensure even browning. Spread it out again in an even layer.
Return the granola to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-browning.
Once baked, remove the tray from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, fold in the dried cranberries or any desired dried fruit of your choice.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Enjoy with milk, yogurt, or as-is for a delicious snack!
