Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 0.25 cup honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup raisins
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, almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and honey (or maple syrup). Stir until fully combined and warm. Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract.
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Toss everything together until the oat mixture is evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once the granola has cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and raisins.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.
