Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, dried cranberries, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to mix the dry ingredients evenly.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Stir everything together with a wooden spoon or spatula until the oats and seeds are well coated with the syrup mixture.
Step 5
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down with the back of a spoon to form a compact layer. This helps create clusters when baking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, until the granola is golden brown. Stir halfway through the baking time to ensure even baking.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the sheet. As the granola cools, it will become crunchier and form clusters.
Step 8
Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and transfer to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a snack or topping for your favorite foods!
