Ingredients
-
5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup flaxseed meal (ground flaxseeds)
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup raw almonds
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup extra virgin, unrefined coconut oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 cup dried cranberries
Directions
For me, there are few aromas as enticing or welcoming as homemade granola baking in the oven—toasted oats and nuts, warm cinnamon, vanilla, honey, and, here, a hint of coconut . . . irresistible. This healthful recipe is packed with wholesome ingredients, comes together easily, and makes a big enough batch to last weeks. Feel free to swap out the almonds and cranberries for your favorite nuts and dried fruit. Enjoy it with yogurt or milk for an ideal breakfast, or sprinkled over roasted fruit with a dollop of unsweetened or naturally sweetened whipped cream for a delicious dessert.—Nicole Sizemore
1. Preheat the oven to 300°F. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, wheat germ, flaxseed meal, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, almonds, cinnamon, and salt.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the coconut oil, honey (or honey and maple syrup), vanilla extract, almond extract, and boiling water. Whisk until ingredients are well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry mixture and stir until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated. Spread the mixture onto one large (or two small) rimmed baking sheet(s) and bake for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, until toasted and golden. Cool completely, then stir in cranberries. Store the granola at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
