Ingredients

• 3 cups Gluten-free rolled oats
• 1 cup Raw almonds, roughly chopped
• 1 cup Raw pecans, roughly chopped
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
• 1 cup Coconut flakes
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup Dried apricots, chopped
• 0.5 cup 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 bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut flakes, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is fully combined and warmed.

Step 4

Pour the maple syrup mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Stir with a spatula or spoon until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down lightly with the back of the spatula.

Step 6

Bake the granola in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

Step 7

Remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet.

Step 8

Once cooled, add the dried cranberries, chopped dried apricots, and raisins. Stir to distribute the dried fruits throughout the granola.

Step 9

Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a crunchy breakfast with milk or yogurt, or as a grab-and-go snack.
