Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds, chopped
- 1 cup raw pecans, roughly chopped
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries (or other dried fruit)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Step 3
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly to ensure every oat and nut is coated with the wet mixture.
Step 5
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, pressing it down slightly with the back of a spatula for clustering.
Step 6
Bake the granola in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Watch closely in the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Step 7
Once the granola is golden brown and fragrant, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Step 8
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries or your chosen dried fruit.
Step 9
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Serve with milk, yogurt, or enjoy it by the handful!
