Ingredients

• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup raw almonds (coarsely chopped)
• 1 cup raw pecans (coarsely chopped)
• 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.333 cup maple syrup
• 0.333 cup coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup dried cranberries (or raisins)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly, ensuring all the oats and nuts are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye 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 crisp up as it cools.

Step 8

Stir in the dried cranberries or raisins once the granola has cooled.

Step 9

Transfer the granola to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
