Ingredients

  • 3 cups rolled oats not quick oats
  • ¼ pumpkin seeds
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • 2 Tablespoons flax meal
  • 1 Tablespoon toasted wheat bran
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 3 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 3 Tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar optional when adding dried fruit
  • ½ cup coconut chips to be added during last few minutes of baking

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with baking spray. In a medium bowl, combine the oats, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, flax meal,toasted wheat bran, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
  • In a small pan on medium heat, combine the coconut oil (or vegetable oil), maple syrup, honey, brown sugar. Whisk together the ingredients and let simmer for about 2 minutes.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the mixture is fully combined and moist. Spread the mixture on the greased baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and stir around the granola (break up any large chunks that may have formed). Bake for an additional 3 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and add the coconut chips. Bake another 2-3 minutes (not any longer, or the coconut will brown and taste horrible).
  • Remove from oven and stir it around again. Let it cool. When totally cooled, stir in an airtight container.
