Home Made Granola

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
• 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (you can also use shredded coconut)
• 1/3 cup raw pecans, chopped
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 275 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (you can also use two medium-sized ones)

2. 2

   Mix the oats, coconut, and pecans in a large bowl. Add the maple syrup, oil, vanilla, and salt

3. 3

   Mix well, so all the ingredients are evenly coated with the oil and maple syrup

4. 4

   Spread evenly on the baking sheet to form one single, thin layer ( you might need to bake it in two baking sheets)

5. 5

   Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes so the granola cooks evenly

6. 6

   Let it cool slightly and add the cranberries. Let it cool completely and store in an airtight container
