Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.33 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, walnuts, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup and coconut oil. Heat gently over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the coconut oil is completely melted.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the maple syrup mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Stir thoroughly, ensuring all the oats and walnuts are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking. The granola should be golden brown and fragrant when done.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Serve with milk, yogurt, or enjoy as-is!
