Ingredients

• 3 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Raw almonds
• 1 cup Raw pecans
• 0.5 cup Raw sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds, coconut flakes, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Use a large spoon or spatula to thoroughly mix until the oats and nuts are well-coated.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and stir the granola to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crisp as it cools.

Step 9

Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries.

Step 10

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