Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds, chopped
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dried cranberries or raisins
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down lightly to make an even layer.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. The granola should turn golden brown and smell fragrant.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries (or raisins) and optional dark chocolate chips.
Store the Granola Crunch Mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Enjoy as a snack, a yogurt topping, or with milk as a cereal!
