Instructions
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
In a large bowl, stir together oats, Chia seeds, cinnamon and salt.
In a small bowl, mix together pecans, almonds and peanuts.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, maple syrup, honey and vanilla until thoroughly combined. Make sure that the oil and other liquids are completely mixed together. If not, the syrups may burn during the baking process.
Add the oil/syrup mixture to the oat mixture and blend so that all of the oats are completely covered.
Transfer the oat mixture to the prepared baking pan.
Spread into an even layer.
*Bake for approximately 15 minutes. Stir occasionally until golden brown.
Remove the pan from the oven and mix in nuts.
Spread contents into an even layer and return to the oven to bake for an additional 7-15 minutes.
Final baking time will vary depending on desired doneness.
The oats will not be crunchy when removed from the oven, but will harden as they cool.
Add the dried cranberries to the pan and stir to combine. Allow to cool.
Store granola in an airtight container for up to two weeks at room temperature or can be frozen.
*Because oven temperatures vary so much, an entire baking time of 30 minutes does not need to be strictly adhered to. Make sure that you are watching the oats carefully for browning.
