Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup slivered almonds
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
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, slivered almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well until all the oats and nuts are evenly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy it with yogurt, milk, or as a snack on its own!
