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

Step 3

Add the ground cinnamon and salt to the dry ingredients and stir until well mixed.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and remove from heat.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 6

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and chia seeds.

Step 10

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
