Feel free to substitute other nuts like walnuts or seeds like flax seeds based on your preference. For a richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of regular melted butter. If you prefer a chunkier granola, press the mixture down firmly onto the baking sheets before baking. Store the cooled granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, combine oats, almonds, coconut, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pecans, and salt. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. (2 minutes)
03
StepIn a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter and honey together, stirring constantly until fully combined. Be careful not to burn the butter. (5 minutes)
04
StepRemove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. (1 minute)
05
StepPour the butter mixture over the oat mixture, stirring until everything is evenly coated. This step is crucial for achieving a consistent golden-brown color. (3 minutes)
06
StepSpread the mixture onto 2 large baking sheets in a single, even layer. Avoid overcrowding the pans for optimal crispness. (2 minutes)
07
StepBake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and gently turn the granola to ensure even browning. Continue baking until golden brown, approximately 10 minutes more. Watch closely to prevent burning, as ovens vary. (20 minutes)
08
StepRemove from oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheets. As it cools, it will crisp up further. (30 minutes)
09
StepOnce cooled, transfer the granola to a large bowl and gently fold in the dried cranberries. (2 minutes)
