Ingredients

• 1 cup Pumpkin seeds
• 1 cup Sunflower seeds
• 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 3 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 3 tablespoons Flaxseeds
• 1 cup Dried cranberries (unsweetened)
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and dried cranberries. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is thoroughly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down lightly to create 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 towards the end to prevent burning.

Step 7

Once golden brown and fragrant, remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crispier as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
