Ingredients

• 3 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Pumpkin seeds
• 1 cup Sunflower seeds
• 0.25 cup Chia seeds
• 0.25 cup Hemp seeds
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Dried cranberries

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 bowl, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, and shredded coconut. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, combine the olive oil and honey. Warm over low heat and mix until blended together. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down gently with the back of a spoon.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is a golden brown and fragrant.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries.

Step 9

Transfer the granola to an airtight container. It can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks.
