Ingredients

• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup raw almonds
• 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup maple syrup
• 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup raisins

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, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to stir everything until the oats and nuts are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the lined baking sheet in a uniform layer.

Step 6

Bake the granola in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye to avoid 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, mix in the dried cranberries and raisins for a burst of natural sweetness.

Step 9

Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy with yogurt, milk, or as a snack on its own!
