Ingredients
- 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cranberry juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chopped roasted and salted almonds
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup dried cranberries
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Spread the pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds on a baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until lightly toasted. Set aside to cool.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, brown sugar, cranberry juice, and cinnamon over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved.
In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and salt.
Pour the maple mixture over the oat mixture and stir until combined. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Stir in the cranberries and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the mixture begins to brown. Cool completely. Store airtight in a plastic container for up to 1 week.

I just finished making this granola and can not stop eating it! Simply amazing. I substituted agave syrup for the maple syrup since I did not have any in the house. Love the cranberry flavor and will definitely be making it again.

I have been making this recipe for over a year and I love it. I leave out the cranberry juice, other than that I make it true to her recipe.
