- In a large bowl, combine the oats, pumpkin seeds, and salt - toss well.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, warm sugar, maple syrup, and oil until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat.

- Stirring the mixture during baking ensures that it bakes evenly and doesn't burn.
- Note that coarse salt is much less salty by volume than fine table salt. See What Is Kosher salt?
- After removing the granola from the oven, allow it to cool slightly before mixing in the dried cranberries.
- Alternative add-ins: try dried blueberries, chocolate chips, salted/roasted almonds, pistachios, or toasted coconut.
- If you prefer your granola to be less sweet, you can reduce the amount of brown sugar and maple syrup. Just make sure to replace the lost liquid and sweetness with a little more oil and/or maple syrup to keep the granola from becoming too dry.
- If you like a sweeter granola, feel free to add more brown sugar to the mixture.
- We love this granola sprinkled over this refreshing Acaí Bowl Recipe or Healthy Yogurt Dip!
