Ingredients

3 cups old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup roughly chopped almonds
1/2 cup roughly chopped pecans
1/2 cup pepitas
1/2 cup coconut flakes, sweetened or unsweetened
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup melted coconut oil
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup dried cranberries or raisins, optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine oats, almonds, pecans, pepitas, coconut, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine.
Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until granola mixture is well coated.
Pour the granola onto the prepared baking sheet in even layer. Bake for 20 minutes and remove from the oven. Use a spatula to stir the granola. Press the granola into an even layer with the spatula and return to the oven. Bake for 15 to 20 more minutes or until the granola is light golden brown. Check early to make sure it isn't burning, every oven is different.
Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. Do not stir! When the granola is completely cooled, break it up into clusters and stir in the dried cranberries or raisins, if using.

Notes

The granola will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
You can also use walnuts in this recipe. Instead of dried cranberries, you can use dried cherries, dried blueberries, or raisins.
