This granola.... what can I say that isn't making my mouth water as I type???
It pretty much has been my go-to simple homemade granola recipe for MONTHS now and has a permanent spot in my pantry. It CAN last up to 2-3 months in an air tight container...but we have never had it last more than a month...cause WE EAT IT ALL. 😆
What I love about this sheet pan granola recipe is how easy it is to throw together in a large mixing bowl then dump on a parchment lined baking sheet. Then let it create a heavenly aroma in your house while it slowly toasts in your oven. It's just makes me happy-sigh thinking about it!
What you need to make this super simple granola:
- Rolled Oats - I prefer rolled oats as they are not only a nutrient dense whole grain, but are perfect flat yet create the perfect texture in this granola vs the steel cut oats (which definitely have their place in other ways!)
- Unsweetened Shredded Coconut - I LOVE the taste of coconut mixed with hearty oat clusters. And they also provide a subtle natural sweetness that isn't that "coconut" flavor most people think of with coconut. Trust me. It's a must and provides an extra crunch that makes the granola clusters PERFECT
- Walnuts & Almonds - You can swap for any nut here. But I prefer walnuts because they have higher nutrient dense fiber and almonds... cause I think they provide another great flavor and texture to this granola
- Pure Maple Syrup - Make sure to read the ingredients here. It should just be one ingredient: maple syrup. But this is the naturally sweetened GLUE that holds these delicious granola clusters together.
- Avocado Oil - I love this oil for just about everything but it's VERY light tasting to no taste at all and helps with browning the granola. You only need a little bit here!
How to serve this Sheet Pan Super Simple Granola

Ingredients
- 2 cups of rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- ½ cup slivered almonds
- 2 tbs avocado oil
- 2 tbs chia seeds
- 1 tbs ground flax seeds
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- ⅓ cup unsweetened dried cranberries (optional)
Instructions
- Make: Preheat the oven to 265F. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients (minus the cranberries) until thoroughly combined.
- Bake: Spread granola in an even layer and bake in the oven for 60 minutes. Allow to cool completely then stir in the cranberries (if using).
- Store: Once the granola has cooled completely, gently scoop into air tight containers. This will keep for 2-3 months.
Notes
- It's key to be gentle scooping the granola into the containers to keep all those delicious clusters
- Allowing the granola to cool completely allows those delicious clusters to form! So if you can wait an hour or 2 before storing the granola, the better!
