Ingredients

• 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Raw pecans, roughly chopped
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, ground
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds (optional)
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries or raisins (optional)

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 mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped pecans, shredded coconut, cinnamon, and salt. If using chia seeds, add them at this stage.

Step 3

In a small 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 the mixture is evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye on it during the final minutes to prevent burning.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once cooled, if desired, stir in the dried cranberries or raisins.

Step 9

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
