Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Dried cranberries or raisins
- 0.5 cup Chopped dried apricots (optional)
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, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly, ensuring that all the oats and seeds are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye on it in the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries, raisins, and/or dried apricots.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Enjoy it with yogurt, milk, or as a standalone snack!
