Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds, chopped
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup golden raisins
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and sea salt. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
Step 4
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly with the back of a spatula to create clumps.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking. Watch closely to avoid over-browning.
Step 7
Once the granola is golden and fragrant, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Step 8
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and golden raisins.
Step 9
Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It can be kept at room temperature for up to two weeks.
