Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup Sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup Hemp hearts
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
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, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, hemp hearts, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the maple syrup and coconut oil. Stir occasionally until the coconut oil is fully melted. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the maple syrup mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a large spoon or spatula to mix until all the dry ingredients are well coated with the syrup mixture.
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. The granola should be golden brown and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries. Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage.
Enjoy as a snack or serve with yogurt or milk.
