Ingredients
- 3Cups Oats
- 1Cup Pumpkin Seeds(I prefer unsalted pumpkin seeds)
- 1Cup craisins
- 1Cup Coconut Flakes
- 1Tbps Cinnamon
- 1/4Cup Ground Chia Seed
- 1Cup Maple Syrup
- 1/2Cup Coconut Oil(needs to be melted)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 250 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Begin by mixing all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Combine oats, pumpkin seeds, craisins, coconut flakes, cinnamon, and ground chia seed together.
- Next, pour in maple syrup and melted coconut oil into bowl.
- Using a large kitchen spoon, stir all ingredients together.
- Pour granola mixture over lined baking sheet. Spread evenly.
- Bake granola in oven at 250 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes. To ensure even cooking, stir granola every 15 minutes. Be sure to not over cook or the craisins will dry out and become rock hard.
- Enjoy! Store leftover granola in an airtight container.
Recipe Notes
As someone with food allergies, I had to find a way to make my own granola as most store bought granola contains nuts. This recipe was purposely made nut-free, but you could easily add your favorite nuts to this recipe. You may need to increase the amount of maple syrup though if you add nuts.
