Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 1 cup Raw pecans
- 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, pecans, and shredded coconut. Stir until evenly distributed.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Stir thoroughly to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Transfer the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on it during the last 5 minutes to avoid burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the tray. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, gently fold in the dried cranberries and mini chocolate chips, if using.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy it on its own, with yogurt, or as a topping for smoothie bowls!
