Ingredients

• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup raw almonds
• 1 cup raw walnuts
• 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup raw sunflower seeds
• 0.25 cup ground flaxseed
• 0.5 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 0.5 cup honey
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup dried apricots, chopped

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 bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, ground flaxseed, and coconut flakes.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey and olive oil. Heat until the mixture is smooth and fluid, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the honey and olive oil mixture over the dry ingredients. Add the cinnamon and salt, and stir until everything is well coated.

Step 5

Spread the mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. It will continue to crisp up as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and chopped dried apricots.

Step 9

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
