Ingredients

Scale
  • 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)

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 melted coconut oil, maple syrup, 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 the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
  8. Once cooled, stir in the dried fruit.
  9. 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.
