Ingredients

• 4 cups gluten-free rolled oats
• 1 cup raw almonds
• 1 cup raw pecans
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup pure maple syrup
• 0.25 cup coconut oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

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 gluten-free rolled oats, almonds, pecans, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the melted coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly to coat everything evenly.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly to create clumps.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.

Step 7

Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crunchier as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries.

Step 9

Transfer the granola to an airtight container and store it at room temperature for up to two weeks.
