Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries or raisins (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, walnuts, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 3
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and brown sugar until fully combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients over the oat mixture and stir thoroughly, making sure all the oats and walnuts are evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
Step 7
Remove the granola from the oven once it is golden brown and fragrant. It will crisp up as it cools.
Step 8
Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet, then stir in the optional dried cranberries or raisins if desired.
Step 9
Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It will keep fresh for up to 2 weeks.
