CRUNCHY GRANOLA RECIPE
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 40 min
Yields: Large mason jar
Dry Ingredients:
3 cups rolled oats
3 tbs chia seeds
1/2 cup pecans - chopped
1/2 cup walnuts - chopped
1/3 cup sunflower seeds
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup dried blueberries
1 cup dried cranberries
1 tsp cinnamon
Salt
Wet Ingredients:
1/3 cup vegan butter (NOT melted)
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
How to make it:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, chopped pecans, chopped walnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, dried blueberries, dried cranberries, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. You will need to use your hands to work in the butter.
Spread on Baking Sheet: Transfer the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly in a thin layer.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and crispy.
Cool: Once baked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely. It will continue to crisp up as it cools.
Serve or Store: Once cooled, transfer the granola to an airtight container or jar for storage. Enjoy your vegan superfood granola with plant-based milk, yogurt, or as a crunchy topping for smoothie bowls and desserts.
