Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds (chopped or sliced)
- 0.5 cup Raw pecans (chopped)
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup Raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut. Stir them together until evenly mixed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the wet mixture over the oat mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly to create clusters.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking. Keep an eye on the granola to prevent burning, especially toward the end of the baking time.
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.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and raisins. Feel free to add additional dried fruits or chocolate chips if desired.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Serve with milk, yogurt, or enjoy it as a snack!
