Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
- 1 cup Chopped almonds
- 0.5 cup Coconut flakes
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 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.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, pepitas, chopped almonds, coconut flakes, cinnamon, and salt.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well mixed.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Bake until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will crisp up as it cools.
If using dried cranberries or raisins, stir them into the cooled granola.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
