Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Pecans, roughly chopped
- 0.5 cup Almonds, roughly chopped
- 0.25 cup Pumpkin seeds (optional)
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries or raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped pecans, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds (if using), and shredded coconut. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a smaller bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until all the oats and nuts are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down lightly with a spatula to create an even layer.
Bake the granola in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through for even browning. Keep an eye on it toward the end to prevent burning, especially the edges.
Once the granola is golden and fragrant, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will crisp up as it cools.
If adding dried cranberries or raisins, stir them into the cooled granola.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It will keep for up to 2 weeks at room temperature.
