Ingredients

• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup quinoa
• 1 cup raw almonds
• 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
• 0.25 cup flaxseeds
• 0.25 cup chia seeds
• 0.5 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup honey or maple syrup
• 0.25 cup coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup dried cranberries

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, quinoa, raw almonds, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, chia seeds, coconut flakes, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until all the dry ingredients are well combined.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey or maple syrup and coconut oil. Stir constantly until the coconut oil has melted and the mixture is well combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula to mix everything together until the dry ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Press down lightly with the spatula to compact the mixture slightly, which will help form clumps.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. This will help it crisp up and form clusters.

Step 8

Once cooled, mix in the dried cranberries. Transfer the granola to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to two weeks.
