Ingredients

  • 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup raw whole almonds (or your choice of nuts)
  • ½ cup hemp hearts
  • ½ cup raw pumpkin seeds
  • ½ cup raw pistachios
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoons ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoons ground cloves

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350º F, and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • In a large bowl combine the oats, nuts, and seeds. (I broke my almonds up slightly in the blender, but feel free to leave them whole)
  • In a small microwavable bowl combine the coconut oil, maple syrup, molasses and spices.
  • Microwave for about 30 seconds until the oil melts. (You can also do this on the stove as well). Mix well.
  • Pour over oatmeal mixture, and mix to coat well.
  • Spread mixture onto prepared cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 20 minutes (or so), mixing half way through.
  • I like my granola really crunchy, so I baked it a few minutes longer. Just be careful as the granola can burn easily near the end of the baking time.
  • Remove from oven.
  • Let cool slightly, and add in the cranberries.
  • Place in a bowl (or container).
  • ENJOY!!
