A granola recipe that is easy and a perfect medley of flavor -- sweet, nutty and salty. Adding cranberries and white chocolate really elevates this snack.
Preheat oven to 300º F. Position oven racks to the 3rd and 4th shelves.
In a large bowl, combine oats, sunflower seeds, almonds, and brown sugar.
In a small bowl, stir together oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Pout over oats mixture, stirring until evenly coated.
Transfer to two large rimmed baking sheets, spreading in a single layer. Place one baking sheeting on each rack.
Bake until evenly browns, about 45 minutes, stirring and rotating pans every 15 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with coconut. Stir and spread in a single layer. Bake until coconut is lightly browned, approximately 10 to 15 minutes more.
Transfer pans to wire racks; sprinkle with cranberries, some additional fresh coconut (optional), and stir. Let cool completely. Fold in white chocolate morsels.
