Ingredients

• 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Pecans, roughly chopped
• 0.5 cup Almonds, roughly chopped
• 0.25 cup Pumpkin seeds (optional)
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries or raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped pecans, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds (if using), and shredded coconut. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a smaller bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until all the oats and nuts are evenly coated.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Bake the granola in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through for even browning. Keep an eye on it toward the end to prevent burning, especially the edges.

Step 7

Once the granola is golden and fragrant, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will crisp up as it cools.

Step 8

If adding dried cranberries or raisins, stir them into the cooled granola.

Step 9

Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It will keep for up to 2 weeks at room temperature.
