Description

A delicious homemade granola recipe packed with healthy ingredients.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds (roasted, salted pepitas)
  • ¼ cup hemp seeds
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ cup avocado oil
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325℉ (160°C) and prep a large baking sheet with greased parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the dry ingredients including the oats, nuts, seeds, salt, and cinnamon. Do not add the dried cranberries yet!
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients including the oil, honey and vanilla.
  4. Add the wet mixture to the dry and stir together until well combined.
  5. Spread the oat mixture on the baking sheet in an even layer and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 8-10 minutes.
  6. The granola is done when it’s golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool before breaking it apart.
  7. Once the granola has cooled, stir in the chopped cranberries and break it into clumps.
  8. Hint: Don’t stir it right after taking it out of the oven! Let it cool for as long as possible first. The air will help create the granola clusters.

Notes
