Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir well to mix.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Mix thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down lightly to form a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through for even toasting. Keep an eye on the granola to prevent burning, as ovens may vary.
Remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and unsweetened shredded coconut.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container or jar for storage. It can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
