Ingredients

• 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Raw almonds, roughly chopped
• 0.5 cup Raw pecans, roughly chopped
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Dried cranberries (or your favorite dried fruit)

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 rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, pumpkin seeds, and shredded coconut.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Use a spatula to mix everything thoroughly, ensuring all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly with the back of the spatula for a more cohesive texture.

Step 6

Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes to prevent overcooking.

Step 7

Once golden brown and fragrant, remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will crisp up as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, mix in the dried cranberries or your preferred dried fruit.

Step 9

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy it with milk, yogurt, or as a snack on its own!
