- 2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
- 2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup whole almonds
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup walnut pieces
- 3/4 cup large coconut flakes, divided
- 1 cup dried cranberries, divided
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1 cup honey, divided
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup water
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together the old-fashioned oats, quick-cooking oats, whole wheat flour, flaxseed, cinnamon, salt, whole almonds, slivered almonds, sunflower seeds, walnut pieces, 1/2 cup coconut flakes, 1/2 cup dried cranberries.
- In a small pan over low heat, add the coconut oil, 1/2 cup honey, brown sugar and vanilla. Stir constantly until coconut oil is melted and mixture is smooth. Pour over dry ingredients and stir together with a wooden spoon or your hands until dry ingredients are mostly coated. Stir in water until granola mixture is wet and a little mushy.
- Press mixture evenly into prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1/4 cup honey. Bake for 30 minutes or until granola starts to toast and turn a golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
- Once granola is cool, break it into large chunks and gently toss the chunks with a spatula so the sides that aren’t golden brown are now on top. Drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup honey. Return to oven for 10-15 minutes or until granola is evenly toasted and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup coconut flakes and 1/2 cup dried cranberries. Let cool completely. Store in a jar or bag that’s not completely sealed so granola stays crunchy.
