Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
  • 1/2 cup seeds (pumpkin, sunflower)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, apricots)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, mixed nuts, and seeds.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and fragrant.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will crisp up as it cools.
  8. Once cooled, stir in the dried fruit.
  9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
