Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats if the recipe needs to be gluten-free, use gluten-free oats
- 1 1/2 cups chopped nuts walnuts or pecans are my favorites
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
- Grease a 16" x 12" baking sheet.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, nuts, maple syrup, coconut oil, shredded coconut, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
- Spread the mixture evenly across the baking sheet, and place it in the oven for 30 minutes total.
- After the first 10 minutes, stir the granola to help it bake evenly.
- After another 10 minutes, stir it again and then smash it down. This will help it to form clumps.
- Finish baking for the final 10 minutes.
- Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely.
- Once it has cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and chia seeds.
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container, and enjoy as a delicious, healthy breakfast!
Notes
You can reduce the maple syrup down to 1/4 cup, but most people will prefer the full amount.
