Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a small bowl combine the oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Combine oats, nuts, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin spice and salt in a separate bowl. Stir the liquids into the dry mixture and combine well making sure all the oats and nuts are coated. Spread the granola evenly on the lined baking sheet.
- Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, stir the granola mixture, add the coconut, and then pat back into an even layer. Return to the oven for an additional 12-15 minutes or until the granola is light golden brown on top. The granola will still look a little wet or moist but it will dry out as it cools.
- After removing the granola from the oven add the raisins (or your preferred dried fruit) to the top and lightly pat down. Allow to cool for 45-60 minutes.
- Once cooled, you can crumble or keep the granola in chunks. Store the granola in an airtight container (like a mason jar) at room temperature for up to 1-2 weeks.
