Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw almonds
• 1 cup Raw walnuts
• 1 cup Raw pecans
• 0.5 cup Raw sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup Raw pumpkin seeds
• 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries or raisins

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 mixing bowl, combine the raw almonds, walnuts, and pecans. Coarsely chop them to your desired size to ensure even cooking and a good mix of textures.

Step 3

To the chopped nuts, add the sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, chia seeds, and ground cinnamon. Stir to combine.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir well to ensure all the nuts and seeds are evenly coated.

Step 6

Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely. As it cools, it will become crisp.

Step 9

Once the granola is cool, transfer it to a large container and mix in the dried cranberries or raisins.

Step 10

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
