Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/3 cup pepitas
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup olive oil (you made need a little more)
- 2 heaping tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries (mixed in after the granola has baked)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Line your rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix and stir together all the dry ingredients except the dried cranberries.
- Add the wet ingredients (olive oil and maple syrup) and stir to combine. You may need to add a little bit more olive oil.
- Spread the oat mixture out on a baking sheet. If you like clusters of granola (and who doesn’t), using the back of wooden spoon or spatula press down on the granola.
- Bake for 12 minutes, rotate the pan, and bake for another 10 minutes until golden brown and checking often to make sure it doesn’t burn.
- Remove from the oven, place on the counter, sprinkle the dried cranberries over the top, and let it cool. While cooling is when the clusters form so give it about 30 minutes.
