Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 1 cup Raw walnuts
- 0.5 cup Raw sunflower seeds
- 0.25 cup Ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries (optional)
- 0.5 cup Dried raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly with a spatula for chunky granola clusters.
Bake the granola in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning. The granola should be golden brown and fragrant.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely before adding dried cranberries or raisins if desired.
Once cooled, transfer the granola to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Serve with your favorite milk, yogurt, or enjoy as a crunchy snack on its own!
