Healthy Homemade Granola

This homemade granola is super healthy, boasts crunchy clusters, is perfect for snacking or spooning over lightly sweetened Greek yogurt. It makes a ton, freezes well, and is highly adaptable — as long as you keep the ratios the same, it’s fine to substitute any nuts, seeds, or dried fruits that you like.

3 tbsps sunflower seeds
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup chopped almonds
2 tsps ground cinnamon

Method

Heat oven to 350°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (I use a silicone baking mat, a Silpat)
Mix all wet ingredients and dry ingredients together separately and then combine and coat evenly.
Pour onto prepared baking sheet, and spread into an even layer.
Bake 30-35 mins until golden brown, stirring every 10 mins while it bakes.
Remove from oven and let cool. Add dried cranberries and mix.
Can be stored in an airtight container (I use mason jars) at room temperature for a few weeks. Makes 10 cups.
