Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, combine the multi-grain oatmeal, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, salt, almonds, dried cranberries, and flaxseed. Stir well to ensure an even distribution of the spices and dry ingredients.
In a medium saucepan, over medium-low heat, melt the coconut oil. Remove from heat and stir in the canned pumpkin, honey, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until all the oats and nuts are well coated with the pumpkin mixture.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Press down lightly to compact the granola a bit.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes to ensure even baking and to prevent burning. The granola should be golden brown and fragrant.
Once the granola is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately stir in the raisins. This will allow the raisins to soften a bit from the residual heat.
Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, transfer it to an airtight container for storage. The granola can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Tips:
- Make sure to mix the ingredients thoroughly to evenly distribute the spices and sweeteners.
- Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on a baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
- Stir the granola halfway through baking to prevent burning and to encourage even browning.
- Let the granola cool completely before storing it to maintain its crunchiness.
- Store the granola in an airtight container to keep it fresh for up to two weeks.
