Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Dried cranberries (or other dried fruit like raisins)
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, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix well, ensuring all the oats and seeds are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a thin layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. The granola should be golden and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries or your preferred dried fruit.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
