Ingredients

• 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Raw almonds, chopped
• 1 cup Raw walnuts, chopped
• 0.5 cup Raw pistachios, shelled and chopped
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup Dried apricots, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the 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, almonds, walnuts, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir well to ensure they are evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the olive oil and honey. Stir until completely blended and warmed through. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the olive oil and honey mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until the mixture is well coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Press down slightly with a spatula to ensure the mixture is compact.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and dried apricots.

Step 9

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