Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup almonds, chopped
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- 0.5 cup pecans, chopped
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.25 cup ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey and olive oil until combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients, stirring well to ensure all the oats and nuts are coated.
Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, pressing down lightly with a spatula for an even surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the granola turns golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, it will become crispier.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and mix well.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
