Instructions

Cranberry Pumpkin Seed Granola

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the oats, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine. Pour in the coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla and stir to combine. Add the almond butter last, and mix until incorporated. It's okay if there are some clumps here and there!
  • Spread the granola out onto the lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes. Toss the granola on the pan, making sure to move the bits on the edges to the inside of the pan, so they don't get burnt. Bake for 11-15 more minutes, or until golden brown and crunchy.
  • Allow the granola to cool completely. Toss in the dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds and store in air-tight container.

Notes

  • Each granola recipe makes about 2-3 cups of granola. 
  • Once you’ve cooked the granola for the initial 12 minutes, toss it and cook it for the lowest number in the time range, so in this case it would be 11 minutes, and then check it. If it still feels like it could use a bit of time, put it in for one more minute and check it again. Continue until you reach the desired taste, texture and crunchiness.
    Make sure that the granola stays closer to the middle of the baking sheet. If the little bits of granola creep too close to the edges, it’s more likely to burn.
