- 2¼ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup raw walnuts
- ½ cup unsweetened untoasted coconut flakes
- ½ cup raw sliced almonds
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup dried cranberries
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, place oats, walnuts, coconut, and almonds. Stir to combine and set aside.
In a small saucepan on medium heat, place butter, brown sugar, honey, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir and heat until mixture is boiling, then immediately pour over dry mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until mixture is evenly coated, then spread onto prepared sheet pan in an even layer. Bake for 8 minutes, then remove from oven and stir. Spread again into an even layer and bake for another 10 to 12 minutes until golden.
Allow to cool completely in pan for 15 to 20 minutes. Break up granola into small pieces and toss with the dried cranberries.
