Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 0.5 cup raw sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dried cranberries
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, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, add the maple syrup and vanilla extract, stirring to combine.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir well until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
