Ingredients
- 4 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 0.5 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup raisins
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture is evenly coated.
Step 5
Divide the granola mixture evenly between the prepared baking sheets, spreading it out in an even layer.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove the trays, stir the granola carefully, and rotate the trays to ensure even baking.
Step 7
Return the granola to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the trays. It will crisp up as it cools.
Step 9
Once cool, stir in the dried cranberries and raisins.
Step 10
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy it with yogurt, milk, or as a snack on its own!
