Ingredients
- 4 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 1 cup Raw pecans
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.33 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup Raisins
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds, coconut, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 3
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Keep an eye on it toward the end of the baking time to prevent burning.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven once the granola is golden brown and fragrant. Allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet — it will become crisp as it cools.
Step 8
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and raisins.
Step 9
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks and enjoy as a snack, with yogurt, or as a topping for smoothie bowls!
