Ingredients

• 3 cups Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons Flaxseeds
• 0.5 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut
• 0.5 cup Raw almonds (chopped)
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries (optional)
• 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, shredded coconut, and chopped almonds. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Use a spatula to stir everything together until the oats and seeds are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing lightly to create an even layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on the granola to prevent burning, especially towards the end of the baking time.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the pan. The granola will crisp up as it cools.

Step 8

Once the granola is fully cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and raisins, if using.

Step 9

Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks.
