How to Make Maple Almond Granola

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups rolled oats, 1 cup sliced almonds, ½ cup shredded coconut, ½ cup pumpkin seeds, ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Stir to thoroughly combine the dry ingredients.
  4. Add ¼ cup melted coconut oil and ½ cup Grade B maple syrup (or to taste).
  5. Stir well until all dry ingredients are evenly moistened.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  7. Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  8. Bake for 25-35 minutes, stirring every 5-7 minutes, starting at the 15-minute mark. Watch closely during the last 10 minutes to prevent burning. The granola is done when it's golden brown and crunchy.
  9. Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking it into clusters. Add ½ cup dried cranberries or other dried fruits of your choice after cooling.
