Ingredients

• 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• 0.5 cup Shredded coconut (unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Dried cranberries or raisins

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey and coconut oil, stirring occasionally until the coconut oil has melted completely. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well until everything is evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake in the oven for about 35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even baking and 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 continue to crisp up as it cools.

Step 8

After cooling, mix in the dried cranberries or raisins.

Step 9

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
