Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add rolled oats, chopped walnuts, almonds, chopped pecans, cashews, coconut flakes, light brown sugar, cinnamon and sea salt and mix together.
  • Pour in melted coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract and mix well until all the oats and nuts are lightly coated.
  • Transfer to your parchment lined baking sheet and spread it out in an even layer.
  • Bake for 12 minutes and then bring it out to stir. After stirring press it down again into an even layer.
  • Return to the oven to bake for a final 12-15 minutes until golden.
  • Let it cool completely, undisturbed, for at least 45 minutes, and then break it up into pieces with your hands. You can break it up into large or small pieces.
  • Add dried cranberries and mix them in. And your granola is ready to serve.

Notes

  1. Nuts - feel free to use any mix of nuts that you like. You can also add seeds like sunflower seeds or pepitas.
  2. Coconut flakes - are optional but amazing in this granola.
  3. Light brown sugar - can be switched for dark brown sugar or coconut sugar.
  4. Coconut oil - should be melted first. If you're not a fan of coconut flavor then you can use refined (flavorless) coconut oil, or switch it for avocado oil instead.
  5. Dried cranberries - you could switch these out for other dried fruits of your choice, banana chips, apple chips, raisins, chopped dates would all work great.
  6. Gluten free - simply choose oats that are certified gluten free. 
  7. Storing: It stores beautifully in an airtight container for 7-10 days.
  8. Freezing: It's freezer friendly for up to 3 months.
