  • 300 grams rolled oats
  • 70 grams roughly chopped almonds
  • 50 grams roughly chopped cashews
  • 40 grams pumpkin seeds
  • 30 grams sunflower seeds
  • 40 grams desiccated coconut
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp fine salt
  • 100 ml honey
  • 60 ml liquid coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 2 tbsp liquid palm sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 80 grams dried cranberries
  • 40 grams raisins (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Prepare a large flat baking sheet, lining it with parchment paper so the granola doesn't stick.
  2. 2 In a large bowl, combine the oats, chopped almonds, chopped cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, desiccated coconut, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.
  3. 3 In a separate bowl, combine the honey, coconut oil, liquid palm sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and slightly thickened.
  4. 4 Pour the liquid mixture into the dry mixture. Stir with a spatula until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the honey mixture.
  5. 5 Spread the granola mixture over the baking sheet as thinly as possible; don't pack it too densely so it bakes evenly and turns out crunchy.
  6. 6 Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring gently every 10 minutes so the granola bakes evenly and doesn't burn at the edges.
  7. 7 Once golden brown and fragrant, remove from the oven. Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet without stirring so it forms crunchy clusters.
  8. 8 Once completely cool, add the dried cranberries and raisins, stirring gently so they don't break apart.
  9. 9 Break the granola into bite-sized pieces, then store in an airtight container. Serve with milk, yogurt, or enjoy straight as a snack.

💡 Tips

• Don't stir the granola while it's still hot from the oven — let it cool first on the baking sheet so it forms those signature crunchy clusters.

• Spread the mixture as thinly as possible on the baking sheet so it bakes evenly and doesn't turn out soft in the middle.

• Store the granola in an airtight jar at room temperature; it will keep for up to 2-3 weeks.

• You can swap the cranberries for chopped dates, dried apricots, or raisins according to your taste.
