Ingredients

• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup raw almonds
• 1 cup raw pecans
• 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• 0.25 cup honey
• 0.25 cup maple syrup
• 0.25 cup coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup dried cranberries (optional)
• 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

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 mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, pecans, shredded coconut, and pumpkin seeds.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well blended, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to thoroughly toss until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. The granola is ready when it turns a light golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once cooled, if desired, mix in dried cranberries, dark chocolate chips, or any other toppings of your choice.

Step 9

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy it on its own as a snack, with milk, or sprinkled over yogurt.
