17 Dec Cranberry Orange Spiced Granola
This granola is perfect for the holidays – I plan on giving these yummy jars filled with granola as gifts. I don’t know about you but I always have such a hard time with gift giving. I always want to give something useful and thoughtful but it’s so hard! I find homemade treats are always a win especially if they are filled with wholesome goodness! The warm spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves are so warming during the winter months. Plus you can make a huge batch of this granola in a short amount of time. Feel free to add in whatever you would like. I kept this nut free, but pecans and walnuts would make excellent additions. Enjoy this delicious granola on top of yogurt, or as a cereal with some milk – or my personal fave just have it on its own!

Ingredients

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl combine the oats, buckwheat flakes, unsweetened coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, hemp hearts.
- Add the salt, and remaining spices. Mix to combine.
- Add in the melted coconut, maple syrup, honey, vanilla, and cranberries.
- Mix everything with a spatula, then add in orange zest and use your hands to make sure granola mix is thoroughly incorporated.
- Transfer the granola to a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper. Press the granola down and bake in the oven at 350 for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown.
- When the granola is halfway done cooking mix the granola with a wooden spoon and press down.
- Once the granola is done, let it cool completely. This may take up to 45 min. Don't worry if the granola is soft it will harden as it cools.
- Once cooled, store in an air tight container and it will last for a week!
