Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, raw almonds, sunflower seeds, and ground cinnamon.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the maple syrup and coconut oil over low heat until the coconut oil is melted. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir well to ensure all the dry ingredients are coated with the wet mixture.
Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will become crispier as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and chia seeds.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
