Ingredients

  • 375 g Rolled Oats
  • 135 g Whole Almonds Chopped
  • 65 g Pepitas
  • 6 g Ground Cinnamon
  • 5 g Sea Salt Flakes
  • 115 g Coconut Oil Melted
  • 80 ml Maple Syrup
  • 7 g Vanilla Extract
  • 45 g Shredded Coconut
  • 70 g Dried Cranberries
  • Whipped Cream Optional
  • Mixed Berries Optional

Method

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Place the rolled oats, chopped almonds, pepitas, ground cinnamon and sea salt flakes into a mixing bowl and combine.
  • Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Stir to combine and coat well.
  • Pour the mixture onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spread out evenly, and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and mix well. Place back into the oven for another 10 minutes and remove.
  • Add the shredded coconut, mix to combine, and bake for a further 7 minutes to toast the coconut. Remove and let cool for 30 minutes.
  • Place the toasted granola into a clean bowl, add the dried cranberries, and mix to combine, transferring it to a glass jar with a tight lid. Store in a cool, dry space for up to 2 weeks. Dig in.
Chef's Tips
Spread the mixture out in an even, thin layer before baking — clumping it too thick will leave the centre soft instead of evenly crisp.
Add the shredded coconut only for the final 7 minutes, not from the start — it toasts much faster than the oats and will burn if it's in the oven the whole time.
Let the granola cool completely before adding the cranberries and sealing the jar — any residual heat will create steam in the jar and soften the crunch.
Storage & Reheating
Store in an airtight container or jar in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks. No reheating needed — this is meant to be enjoyed at room temperature, straight from the jar.
