Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup raisins
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, almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir thoroughly to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the maple syrup and coconut oil until the coconut oil is fully melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the warmed liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly with the back of a spatula to help it form clusters.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Watch closely toward the end to avoid burning.
Remove the tray from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and raisins. Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage.
Enjoy your Healthy Living Granola as a breakfast topping, snack, or with your favorite yogurt or milk!
