Ingredients
Serves: 3-4
1/4 cup Pumpkin Seeds
1/4 cup Sunflower Seeds
1/4 cup Dried Cranberries (unsweetened or sweetened)
2 tbsp Chia Seeds
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract (optional)
1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon (optional)
A pinch of salt
Customization Tips
Add a handful of Country Farm Organics Goji Berries for a superfood boost.
Swap cranberries for raisins or dried apricots for variety.
Sprinkle a touch of sea salt for a sweet-and-salty twist.
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
3. Prepare the Wet Mixture
In a small saucepan, gently heat the Acacia Honey and coconut oil over low heat until melted and combined. If using, stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix thoroughly, ensuring all the oats and seeds are evenly coated.
5. Bake the Granola
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking tray. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning—the granola should be golden and fragrant.
6. Cool and Add Dried Cranberries
Remove the tray from the oven and let the granola cool completely. Once cooled, mix in the dried cranberries. Cooling is crucial to ensure the granola becomes crunchy.
7. Store and Enjoy
Transfer the granola to an airtight container. It can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Serve with yogurt, milk, or enjoy as a snack on its own!
