Ingredients

• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup raw almonds
• 1 cup raw pecans
• 0.5 cup raw sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup raw pumpkin seeds
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup coconut oil
• 0.5 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup dried cranberries

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the honey and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Stir until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through for even baking, until the granola is golden brown.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once the granola is cool, break it into clusters and stir in the dried cranberries.

Step 9

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Enjoy it as a snack, with yogurt, or as a topping for smoothie bowls.
