Cranberry Granola

This is our first time making granola and let me tell you it won’t be our last. Mom found the recipe in her Alive Magazine and we’ve been testing different variations. We made 2 batches in the same weekend. In this one we replaced the hemp seeds with chia seeds and added some dried cranberries from Patience Fruit Co. This recipe is delicious, simple and is definitely a keeper for life!

Let’s dive right into it!

• 1/2 cup coconut oil
