Ingredients

• 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Dried cranberries or raisins
• 0.5 cup Chopped dried apricots (optional)

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, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly, ensuring that all the oats and seeds are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye on it in the last few minutes to prevent burning.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries, raisins, and/or dried apricots.

Step 9

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