Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 0.5 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 maple syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup raisins
Instructions
Preheat your 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, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to stir everything until the oats and nuts are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the lined baking sheet in a uniform layer.
Bake the granola in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Once the granola is golden brown and fragrant, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, mix in the dried cranberries and raisins for a burst of natural sweetness.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy with yogurt, milk, or as a snack on its own!
