Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 1 cup Pecans
- 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Dried cranberries (optional)
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, and sunflower seeds.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the coconut oil if it is solid. Then add the honey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well combined.
Pour the honey mixture over the oat and nut mixture. Use a spatula to thoroughly mix, ensuring all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing lightly to create a compact layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning—the granola is done when it is golden and fragrant.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the sheet. As it cools, it will become crisp.
If using dried cranberries, sprinkle them over the cooled granola and mix gently.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy it with milk, yogurt, or as a snack on its own!
