Ingredients

• 3 cups Gluten-Free Rolled Oats
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin Seeds
• 0.5 cup Sunflower Seeds
• 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
• 0.25 cup Ground Flaxseed
• 1 cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Maple Syrup
• 0.25 cup Coconut Oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 0.5 cup Dried Cranberries
• 0.5 cup Raisins

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, coconut flakes, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until all the dry ingredients are well mixed.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the maple syrup and coconut oil. Stir occasionally until the coconut oil is melted and both ingredients are well mixed. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the maple syrup mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Stir everything together until the dry ingredients are thoroughly coated with the syrup mixture.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure it's in an even layer to ensure even baking.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and crunchy.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the sheet. It will continue to harden as it cools.

Step 8

Once the granola is cool, stir in the dried cranberries and raisins.

Step 9

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