Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds, chopped
- 0.5 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 0.75 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries, unsweetened
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to mix all dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the tray, stir the granola and spread it out again to ensure even baking. Return it to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Check the granola frequently during the last few minutes to ensure it does not burn. It should be golden brown and fragrant.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will continue to become crunchier as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the unsweetened dried cranberries.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Enjoy it with yogurt, milk or as a standalone snack.
