Servings: 10
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cups (180 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
• ½ cup (65 g) pumpkin seeds
• ½ cup (50 g) pecans, coarsely chopped
• 1/2 cup (65 g) dried cranberries (unsweetened)
• ¼ cup (60 ml) maple syrup
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) canola oil
• 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
• ½ tsp (2.5 ml) ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch of salt

To Serve

• ¾ cup (175 g) plain 0% Greek yogurt
• 1 small apple

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, pecans, dried cranberries, cinnamon and salt.
3. Pour the liquid ingredients directly over the dry ingredients and mix well until everything is evenly coated.
4. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and press down firmly with a spatula to form an even layer, approximately ½ inch (1 cm) thick.
5. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the granola is lightly golden. Do not stir during baking.
6. Allow to cool completely before breaking the granola into smaller clusters.
7. Serve with Greek yogurt and an apple or another fruit of your choice for a satisfying breakfast or snack!

Tip

For larger granola clusters: Add one lightly beaten egg white to the mixture before baking. It will help hold the ingredients together.
