Ingredients

• 3 cups Gluten-free rolled oats
• 1 cup Raw almonds, chopped
• 1 cup Raw pecans, chopped
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries or raisins
• 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly distributed.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a thin, even layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye on it in the last few minutes to prevent burning.

Step 7

Once the granola is golden brown and fragrant, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries or raisins and optional dark chocolate chips (if using).

Step 9

Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
