Ingredients:
2 cups rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
1/2 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or a mix)
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or apricots)
2 tbsp maple syrup or agave nectar
2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
Optional: 1/2 tsp cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a muffin tin or lining it with cupcake liners.
Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, chopped nuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and dried fruit. If you’re using cinnamon or nutmeg, add it to the mixture.
Add Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Pour this wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir everything together until evenly coated.
Form the Granola Cups: Spoon the granola mixture into the muffin tin, pressing down gently with the back of the spoon to form compact cups.
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the granola cups are golden brown around the edges.
