Ingredients

• 3 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Pumpkin seeds
• 1 cup Sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup Shredded coconut (unsweetened)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon 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 bowl, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until all dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients, and stir until all the dry ingredients are completely coated with the wet mixture.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, taking care to spread it out into a thin layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and stir gently to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the granola is golden brown and crisp.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and raisins until evenly distributed.

Step 10

Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy it as a topping for yogurt, a cereal with milk, or a snack on its own.
