Ingredients

• 3 cups Gluten-free rolled oats
• 1 cup Raw almonds, chopped
• 1 cup Raw walnuts, chopped
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened coconut flakes
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 cup Pure maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Dried cranberries, unsweetened

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°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 walnuts, coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, and sea salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients, stirring until every component is thoroughly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly to help it clump.

Step 6

Bake the granola in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning, particularly near the end of the cooking time.

Step 7

Once the granola is golden brown and fragrant, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crunchier as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, mix in the dried cranberries. Store your heart-healthy gluten-free granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
