Ingredients

• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup raw almonds, chopped
• 1 cup raw pecans, roughly chopped
• 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 0.5 cup maple syrup
• 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup dried cranberries (or other dried fruit)

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, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly to ensure every oat and nut is coated with the wet mixture.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, pressing it down slightly with the back of a spatula for clustering.

Step 6

Bake the granola in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Watch closely in the last few minutes to prevent burning.

Step 7

Once the granola is golden brown and fragrant, remove it 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 or your chosen dried fruit.

Step 9

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Serve with milk, yogurt, or enjoy it by the handful!
