Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped walnuts, and pumpkin seeds.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well coated.
Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet and press it down lightly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely. Stir in the dried cranberries once cooled.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Chef's Tips
- Sweetener Options: You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan version.
- Nut Variations: Feel free to use any nuts or seeds you prefer, such as pecans, sunflower seeds, or cashews.
- Extra Crunch: For added texture, mix in some shredded coconut before baking.
- Clumpy Granola: Press the mixture firmly onto the baking sheet before baking for chunkier granola clusters.
- Storage Tip: Keep granola in an airtight container to maintain its crispiness.
