Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 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 (optional)
- 0.5 cup 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 the rolled oats, almonds, walnuts, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly, ensuring all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down lightly with the back of a spoon to create clumps.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring gently halfway through to ensure even baking. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t burn.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
If using dried cranberries or raisins, gently fold them into the cooled granola.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy it as a topping for yogurt, with milk, or as a snack on its own.
