Ingredients

• 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Unsalted almond slices
• 1 cup Unsalted pecan halves
• 0.5 cup Raw sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries

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 oats, almond slices, pecan halves, sunflower seeds, chopped walnuts, shredded coconut, chia seeds, and cinnamon. Stir well to combine.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything is well coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down lightly to form an even layer.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crispier as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries.

Step 9

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