Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 0.5 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
• 0.5 cup raw almonds, roughly chopped
• 0.5 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
• 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
• 0.25 cup chia seeds
• 0.25 cup ground flaxseeds
• 1 teaspoon 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 (165°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, quinoa, almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, ground flaxseeds, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, heat the maple syrup and coconut oil over low heat until the coconut oil is melted and the mixture is warm. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Stir until the dry ingredients are thoroughly coated with the wet mixture.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down lightly to form a compact layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, stir the granola to ensure even toasting, and return to the oven for another 15 minutes.

Step 7

After 30 minutes of total baking time or when the granola is golden brown, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet.

Step 8

Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and raisins. Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage.

Step 9

Enjoy your vegan protein-packed granola as a breakfast cereal with plant-based milk or yogurt, or as a tasty snack on its own.
