Ingredients

  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats
  • ½ cup chopped almonds
  • ½ cup raw pumpkin seeds
  • 1/3 cup shredded coconut
  • ½ cup dried currants

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner.

Combine brown sugar, maple syrup, oil, and salt in a bowl. Add oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and coconut. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 3
Pour mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and distribute in an even layer.

Bake in the preheated oven, lightly stirring every 10 to 15 minutes with the tines of a fork, until evenly toasted and golden brown, about 1 hour.

Remove from the oven. Transfer hot granola into a large bowl and mix in currants. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
