How to Make Sunshine Morning Granola

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, nuts, seeds, brown sugar, cinnamon, and orange zest.
  3. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly in a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan or a 13x9-inch baking pan.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, stirring halfway through (around 10 minutes) to ensure even baking.
  6. Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely in the pan. This allows it to crisp up further.
  7. Once completely cool, gently stir in the dried cranberries and chopped orange peel.
  8. Store your Sunshine Morning Granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
