Ingredients
- 4 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 1 cup Raw pecans
- 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°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, almonds, pecans, and shredded coconut. Stir until evenly distributed.
Step 3
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Stir thoroughly to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Step 5
Transfer the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out into an even layer.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on it during the last 5 minutes to avoid burning.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the tray. It will crisp up as it cools.
Step 8
Once cooled, gently fold in the dried cranberries and mini chocolate chips, if using.
Step 9
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy it on its own, with yogurt, or as a topping for smoothie bowls!
