Ingredients

• 1 cup raw almonds
• 1 cup raw walnuts
• 1 cup raw pecans
• 0.5 cup raw sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup coconut oil, melted
• 0.25 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 cup dried cranberries (unsweetened)
• 0.5 cup dried apricots, chopped
• 0.25 cup raisins

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Chop the almonds, walnuts, and pecans into smaller pieces. You can use a knife or a food processor for even quicker results.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped nuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and shredded coconut.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sea salt until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture over the dry nut and seed mix. Stir well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 6

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, using a spatula to press it down into a flat layer.

Step 7

Bake the granola in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on the granola to prevent burning, especially towards the end of the baking time.

Step 8

Once the granola is golden brown and fragrant, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet.

Step 9

After cooling, mix in the dried cranberries, chopped dried apricots, and raisins.

Step 10

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
