christmas crunch granola.

6 c. rolled oats
1 c. raw sunflower seeds
1 c. raw pumpkin seeds
1 c. raw almonds, coarsely chopped
1 c. unsweetened coconut
1/4 c. ground flax
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. canola oil
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. pure maple syrup
1 c. dried cranberries
1/2 c. unsalted pistachios, shelled + chopped



Preheat oven to 350*.

Mix oats, seeds, almonds, coconut, flax, cinnamon & salt together in a large bowl.

In a saucepan over medium heat, heat oil with brown sugar and maple syrup. Stir to combine, pour over oat mixture, and mix thoroughly. Toast for 20-30 minutes, tossing gently every 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Add cranberries and pistachios. Store in an airtight container.

I made the recipe 3x. I saved a little for myself, of course, to enjoy for our simple Christmas morning meal. It is wonderful accompanied with plain Greek yogurt and a juicy Harry & David pear.
