Ingredients

• 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Raw almonds (chopped or slivered)
• 1 cup Raw pecans (chopped)
• 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries or raisins

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°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, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry mixture and stir thoroughly until every component is lightly coated with the maple syrup mixture.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down lightly with a spatula to create some clumps.

Step 6

Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, it will become crispier.

Step 8

Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries or raisins. Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
