Ingredients
- 4 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup walnuts (roughly chopped)
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup ground flax seed
- 2 Tbsp. chia seeds
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup maple syrup (or honey)
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, add rolled oats, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, ground flax seed, chia seeds, cinnamon and salt. Use a rubber spatula to mix until combined.
- Add olive oil and mix to coat the ingredients. Next, add in maple syrup or honey and mix again. Add vanilla extract and stir together once more.
- Pour mixture onto prepared baking sheet. Using a rubber spatula, spread the mix evenly in the pan, making sure there are no gaps or holes. Use the flat side of the spatula to press the mix down into the pan, creating an even, packed layer.
- Place in preheated oven and bake for 13 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir. Using the rubber spatula, press down the mixture once again until evenly and packed. Return to oven and bake for an additional 12 minutes, until oats are beginning to brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it sit for a few hours undisturbed. This helps the granola to stick together and create larger chunks.
- After a few hours, sprinkle cranberries over the dried mixture. Using your hands, break apart the granola into chunks. Store in an airtight container and use within a week. Enjoy with milk, as a yogurt topping or on its own for a delicious snack!
Notes
- This recipe is very versatile, feel free to swap out any sort of nut for the walnuts.
- Any dried fruit works here!
