Ingredients

• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup raw almonds
• 1 cup raw cashews
• 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 cup maple syrup
• 0.25 cup coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup dried cranberries
• 0.75 cup raisins

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir well to mix evenly.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the maple syrup and coconut oil until the coconut oil is fully melted. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir well until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to press it down slightly with the back of a spoon to create clumps.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Watch closely toward the end to prevent burning.

Step 7

Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, the granola will crisp up.

Step 8

Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and raisins.

Step 9

Store Laura S Granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy it with yogurt, milk, or by the handful as a snack.
