Packed with wholesome gluten-free rolled oats, crunchy raw almonds, pumpkin seeds, and shredded coconut, this granola is lightly sweetened with maple syrup and infused with the earthy, antioxidant-rich goodness of matcha powder. A hint of vanilla and a finishing pop of dried cranberries add layers of flavor and texture, while coconut oil ensures every bite is perfectly crisp and golden.

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, chopped raw almonds, raw pumpkin seeds, shredded unsweetened coconut, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture over the oat mixture, stirring to coat all ingredients thoroughly.
Add the matcha powder to the mixture and stir until the matcha is evenly distributed.
Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting, until the granola is lightly golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely. As it cools, it will crisp up.
Once cool, stir in the dried cranberries. Store the granola in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
