Ingredients

• 3 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Pumpkin seeds
• 1 cup Sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, dried cranberries, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and slightly warm, ensuring the honey and oil have fully blended.

Step 4

Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Stir thoroughly with a spoon until all the dry ingredients are well-coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down lightly with the back of a spoon to create an even layer.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the sheet, about 20 minutes. The granola will continue to harden as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store it in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Enjoy as a topping for yogurt, with milk, or as a snack by itself.
