Ingredients
  

  • 2.0 cups rolled oats
  • 1.0 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1.0 cup raw mixed nuts
  • 0.5 cup dried cranberries
  • 1.0 large zest of orange
  • 0.25 cup maple syrup
  • 0.25 cup coconut oil
  • 1.0 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp cinnamon
  • 0.0 pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, coconut flakes, chopped mixed nuts, dried cranberries, orange zest, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well emulsified.
  • Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, mix thoroughly, ensuring every oat and nut is coated.
  • Spread and Bake: Transfer the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread it out evenly to ensure even baking. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even crisping. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
  • Cool and Store: Once golden and fragrant, remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crunchier as it cools. Once cool, store it in an airtight container.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your Quick Cranberry Orange Granola as a snack on its own, sprinkle it over yogurt, or pair it with milk for a delightful breakfast!
