Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup Sunflower seeds
- 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 3 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 3 tablespoons Flaxseeds
- 1 cup Dried cranberries (unsweetened)
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and dried cranberries. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is thoroughly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down lightly to create an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on it towards the end to prevent burning.
Once golden brown and fragrant, remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crispier as it cools.
Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
