Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries (optional)
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, pecans, shredded coconut, and pumpkin seeds.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well blended, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to thoroughly toss until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down lightly to create an even layer.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. The granola is ready when it turns a light golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Remove the tray from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the pan. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, if desired, mix in dried cranberries, dark chocolate chips, or any other toppings of your choice.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy it on its own as a snack, with milk, or sprinkled over yogurt.
