Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.25 cup chia seeds
- 0.33 cup coconut oil
- 0.33 cup honey
- 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup dried cranberries
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine old-fashioned rolled oats, raw almonds, raw walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Remove from heat and stir in honey and pure vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients. Add ground cinnamon and salt, and stir until all the dry ingredients are thoroughly coated.
Step 5
Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, remove from the oven and stir, and then bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, it will become crispier.
Step 8
Once cooled, stir in dried cranberries and mix well.
Step 9
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
