Ingredients

• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup raw almonds
• 0.5 cup raw pecans
• 0.5 cup raw sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 cup maple syrup
• 0.25 cup coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and sea salt.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and mix in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl and stir until everything 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 an eye on it during the last few minutes to prevent burning.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once cooled, mix in the dried cranberries and dark chocolate chips. Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
