Ingredients

• 3 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Raw almonds, chopped
• 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup Unsalted pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries (low-sugar)
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Unscented light olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg

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 mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, shredded coconut, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds. Stir well to mix the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey, maple syrup, and olive oil. Stir continuously until the mixture is well combined and warmed through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula to mix until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet, pressing down lightly to compact it.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will continue to crisp as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries. Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage.
