- 4 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
- 1/2 cup seeds (pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds)
- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, apricots)
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, mixed nuts, and seeds.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
- Once cooled, stir in the dried fruit.
- Store your homemade granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Feel free to customize your granola with your favorite nuts, seeds, and dried fruits.
- For clusters, press the granola down firmly on the baking sheet before baking and avoid stirring too much.
- Serve your granola with yogurt, milk, or enjoy it as a standalone snack.
