Ingredients

• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup raw almonds
• 1 cup raw walnuts
• 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 0.5 cup maple syrup
• 0.25 cup coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup dried cranberries (optional)
• 0.5 cup raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the 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, almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Ensure all the dry ingredients are well-coated with the liquid mixture.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down lightly to form a uniform layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through for even toasting. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t burn. The granola will be golden brown when ready.

Step 7

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

Step 8

If desired, stir in the dried cranberries and raisins once the granola has cooled completely.

Step 9

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Serve with yogurt, milk, or enjoy it as a standalone snack!
