Ingredients

• 3 cups Gluten-free rolled oats
• 1 cup Raw almonds
• 1 cup Raw pecans
• 0.5 cup Raw pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup Raw sunflower seeds
• 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup Dried apricots (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and shredded coconut.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Pour the coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir well to ensure all components are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake for 30-35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent burning and to ensure even toasting. The granola should be golden brown and fragrant when done.

Step 7

Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet, allowing it to crisp up as it cools.

Step 8

Once cool, mix in the dried cranberries and chopped dried apricots.

Step 9

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy it as a snack or with your favorite milk or yogurt.
