Steps
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Mix well.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Press down lightly with a spatula to help it crisp up.
- Bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Watch closely toward the end to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will crisp up as it cools.
- Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries if using. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
For a nut-free version, substitute seeds like sunflower or hemp for the almonds and pecans. You can also swap dried cranberries for raisins, chopped apricots, or dark chocolate chips.
