Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 1 cup Raw pecans
- 0.5 cup Raw sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds, coconut flakes, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and honey until well combined.
Pour the coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Use a large spoon or spatula to thoroughly mix until the oats and nuts are well-coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and stir the granola to ensure even cooking.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crisp as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
