Ingredients

• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup raw almonds, chopped
• 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup maple syrup
• 0.3 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup dried cranberries (optional)
• 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir well until everything is evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly with the back of a spoon for a clumpy texture if desired.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. The granola should be golden brown and fragrant.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely. It will crisp up as it cools.

Step 8

If using dried cranberries or chocolate chips, stir them into the cooled granola.

Step 9

Once fully cooled, store Cam's Granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
