Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.33 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, walnuts, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup and coconut oil. Heat gently over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the coconut oil is completely melted.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Pour the maple syrup mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Stir thoroughly, ensuring all the oats and walnuts are evenly coated.
Step 6
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 7
Bake for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking. The granola should be golden brown and fragrant when done.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely. It will crisp up as it cools.
Step 9
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries.
Step 10
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Serve with milk, yogurt, or enjoy as-is!
