Ingredients

• 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Chopped almonds
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 tablespoon Matcha powder
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries (unsweetened)

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 bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, and matcha powder. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat if not already in liquid form.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan 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 bowl. Stir thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Step 6

Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir the granola to ensure even cooking.

Step 8

Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the granola is lightly golden and fragrant.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. This cooling time helps it to crisp up.

Step 10

Once cooled, mix in the dried cranberries.

Step 11

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