Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats old-fashioned
- ½ cup almonds sliced
- ½ cup pecans or walnuts, chopped
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- 3 TBSP pure maple syrup
- 2 TBSP honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt fine sea salt
- ¼-½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup coconut unsweetened, shredded
- ½ cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F with wire rack in the center/middle position.
- Line a 10x15-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine oats and chopped nuts.
- In a small bowl whisk together melted coconut oil with maple syrup, honey, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon. Pour over oats/nuts and mix well to coat.
- Use a silicone spatula or bowl scraper to transfer the granola mixture onto the parchment paper lined baking sheet and spread out very well in a super thin layer. Almost all the parchment paper should be covered by granola. Pat to flatten.
- Bake on the center rack at 300°F for 20 minutes. When timer beeps, carefully remove from the oven and add shredded coconut. Stir it up and return the pan to the oven to cook for an additional 10-15 minutes or until golden and crispy. Keep an eye on it and remove from the oven once it's your idea of crispy golden perfection.
- Once you remove your granola from the oven, allow it to cool on the baking sheet until completely cooled. This will give it the necessary time to get that signature crunch we all know and love. (The granola will not crisp up until it has cooled.)
- Once cooled, stir in dried cranberries and any extra coconut your heart desires.
- This granola will keep for up to two weeks in a lidded airtight container. Enjoy as a snack, in your favorite trail mix, or on top of yogurt with fresh fruit and all your favorite toppings.

Notes
- A note about mix-ins and extras: Dried fruit and chocolate should be added after baking and cooling to prevent melting while nuts and seeds can be baked along with the granola.
- For a gloriously gluten-free granola, simply check the label on your oats to ensure they’re certified gluten-free. Easy peasy!
