This granola recipe offers a delightful blend of flavors and textures, perfect for a healthy snack or breakfast.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, cinnamon, and salt.
Ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed for consistent flavor.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Using melted coconut oil helps the mixture combine more easily.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until all the oats are coated.
Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl and ensure even coating.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some clumps for texture.
Clumps add a delightful crunch to the granola.
Bake for 10 minutes, then stir the granola and add the almonds and walnuts. Bake for another 10 minutes.
Stirring halfway through ensures even baking.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely. Stir in the raisins and dried cranberries.
Adding dried fruits after baking preserves their chewy texture.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage.
Store in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
Serve the granola with yogurt, milk, or as a snack. Enjoy!
Pair with fresh fruits for an extra burst of flavor.
