Ingredients

• 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup raw almonds, chopped
• 1 cup raw pecans, chopped
• 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
• 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons fine sea salt
• 0.5 cup coconut oil, melted
• 0.5 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup dried cranberries (or other dried fruit of choice)

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, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly, ensuring everything is evenly coated with the honey and coconut oil mixture.

Step 5

Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down lightly to form an even layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through for even toasting. Keep a close eye during the last few minutes to prevent burning; the granola should be golden brown and fragrant.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the pan. It will become crisp as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, mix in the dried cranberries (or your choice of dried fruit).

Step 9

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