Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds, chopped
- 1 cup raw pecans, chopped
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dried cranberries (or raisins or chopped dried apricots)
- 0.5 teaspoon 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, almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the large bowl and stir until everything is well coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly over the prepared baking sheet, pressing lightly with a spatula to form a uniform layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries or your choice of dried fruit.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It will keep for up to 2 weeks at room temperature.
