INGREDIENTS

4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (use gluten-free oats for gluten-free granola)

1 ½ cup nuts and/or seeds (I used 1 cup walnuts, 1/4 cup pepitas and 1/4 cup sunflower seeds)

1 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt (if you’re using standard table salt, scale back to ¾ teaspoon)

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ cup melted coconut oil (no flavour)

½ cup Acacia honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

⅔ cup dried cranberries

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/ 180 C and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Melt the coconut oil over low heat if needed.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts and seeds, salt and cinnamon. Stir to blend.

  4. Pour in the oil, honey and vanilla. Mix well, until every oat and nut is lightly coated. Pour the granola onto your prepared pan and use a large spoon to spread it in an even layer.

  5. Bake until lightly golden, about 21 to 24 minutes, stirring halfway. The granola will further crisp up as it cools.

  6. Let the granola cool completely, undisturbed (at least 45 minutes). Top with the dried fruit.

    Voilà! Enjoy!
