1

Gather Your Ingredients

First things first, let's gather all the goodies that will make your grain-free granola oh-so-delicious. You'll need 2 cups of coconut flakes, 1 cup of pumpkin seeds, 1 cup of sunflower seeds, 1 cup of dried cranberries, 1/2 cup of coconut oil, 1/4 cup of honey (or maple syrup if you prefer), 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Double-check your pantry, you don't want to run out of any key ingredient at the last minute!

2

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C). We're going to toast those ingredients to perfection, so make sure your trusty kitchen appliance is all warmed up and ready to go. Safety first, though, so be careful when handling hot trays and ovens!

3

Mix It Up

In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Give it a good stir until everything is well coated with the sweet and salty mixture. Imagine your breakfast bowl jumping with joy!

4

Spread the Joy

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the granola mixture evenly onto it. Make sure it's spread out in a thin layer, so all the ingredients get toasty and crunchy. This would be a good time to have a little taste test, but remember, we still have some cooking to do!

5

Bake to Perfection

Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the granola bake for about 25-30 minutes. Keep an eye on it because it can quickly go from golden deliciousness to burnt calamity. Every oven is a little different, so don't be afraid to peek. Your nose might also start singing when it's almost done!

6

Cool and Enjoy

Once your oven timer sings its glorious alarm, take out the baking sheet and let the granola cool completely. It will crisp up even more during the cooling process. Once it's ready, transfer it to an airtight container and store it up to two weeks. But let's be real, it's so tasty it probably won't last that long! Serve with your favorite milk or yogurt and enjoy the nut-free crunchiness!
