Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups organic old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup flaxseeds
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 1/2 cup mixed nuts (cashews, pecans, almonds, pistachios)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 4 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries (50% less sugar)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 320°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir oats, flaxseeds, chia seeds, mixed nuts, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • In a saucepan, add coconut oil, and maple syrup. Bring over medium heat, and warm until the coconut oil is melted and it forms a syrup. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract.
  • Pour the syrup over the previous bowl and stir with a rubber spatula or your hands to evenly coat the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients.
  • Pour the mixture on the prepared tray in a single layer and bake it for 20-25 minutes at 320°F until golden brown.
  • Let it cool down on the baking sheet without touching to form granola clusters.
  • When fully cooled, stir in dried cranberry if you like, store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
