Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds (coarsely chopped)
- 1 cup raw pecans (coarsely chopped)
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.333 cup maple syrup
- 0.333 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dried cranberries (or raisins)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly, ensuring all the oats and nuts are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Once the granola is golden brown and fragrant, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Stir in the dried cranberries or raisins once the granola has cooled.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
