The method

Step by step

1
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
About 5 min
2
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
3
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, sunflower seeds, ground flaxseeds, cinnamon, and salt.
About 2 min
4
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Ensure coconut oil is fully melted for even mixing.
5
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until all the oats, nuts, and seeds are evenly coated.
About 2 min
6
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
About 1 min
7
Bake for 30 minutes, stirring gently halfway through to ensure even browning.
About 30 min
Cook’s note: Keep an eye on it to prevent burning, as oven temperatures can vary.
8
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes without stirring.
About 15 min
Cook’s note: Cooling undisturbed helps create those desirable granola clusters.
9
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries, if using.
Cook’s note: Adding dried fruit after baking keeps it soft and chewy.
