Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw macadamia nuts
- 0.5 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries or raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, macadamia nuts, shredded coconut, and pumpkin seeds.
In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sea salt until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly over the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even toasting. The granola should turn golden brown and fragrant.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the pan. It will crisp up as it cools.
If using dried cranberries or raisins, stir them into the cooled granola.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Serve with yogurt, milk, or enjoy as a snack!
