Easy to make from scratch, this homemade granola recipe is healthy, wholesome and filling. Perfect for a quick breakfast, or enjoy as a snack, this oatmeal granola is naturally sweetened and loaded with dried fruits, nuts and seeds.
Preheat the oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the oats, almonds, pepitas, coconut flakes, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Stir until combined. Spread the granola onto the baking sheet and press the mixture to encourage clumping.
Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated oven, rotate the sheet halfway, and use a fork to gently break the granola apart just a bit. Bake for 15 minutes more, or until golden brown. Sprinkle with dried cranberries. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes
Mix the ingredients together well so that the oats are not dry and are coated with the oil.
If doubling the recipe, you will need to use an additional baking sheet so that the granola mixture isn't too thick.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through cooking so that it browns evenly.
