Ingredients

• 3 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Raw almonds, roughly chopped
• 1 cup Raw walnuts, roughly chopped
• 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup Shredded coconut, unsweetened
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries or raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped walnuts, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well to coat everything evenly.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.

Step 6

Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye towards the end to avoid burning.

Step 7

Once the granola is golden brown and fragrant, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet.

Step 8

If using dried cranberries or raisins, fold them into the granola once it has cooled.

Step 9

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Serve with milk, yogurt, or enjoy as a snack!
