Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup honey (or maple syrup)
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup raisins
- 0.75 cup chopped dates
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, and salt.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Stir in the honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl and mix until all the oats and nuts are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly with the back of a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the pan. It will harden as it cools.
Once the granola has cooled, stir in the raisins and chopped dates.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Serve with yogurt, milk, or enjoy as a snack!
