Ingredients

• 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cups Slivered almonds
• 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts
• 0.25 cups Sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Maple syrup
• 0.25 cups Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Dried cranberries
• 0.25 cups Dark chocolate chips (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, slivered almonds, chopped walnuts, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until the mixture is evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, stir the granola gently, and spread it back out into a single layer.

Step 7

Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown and fragrant. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the pan. It will become crisp as it cools.

Step 9

Once the granola has cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and optional dark chocolate chips, if desired.

Step 10

Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy it as a breakfast cereal, snack, or topping for your favorite dishes!
