Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup sunflower 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 (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries (optional)
- 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the 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, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Ensure all the dry ingredients are well-coated with the liquid mixture.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down lightly to form a uniform layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through for even toasting. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t burn. The granola will be golden brown when ready.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely. It will crisp up as it cools.
If desired, stir in the dried cranberries and raisins once the granola has cooled completely.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Serve with yogurt, milk, or enjoy it as a standalone snack!
