Serves 6

Prep: 20 minutes, plus cooling and storing

Cook: 30–35 minutes

1¾ cups rolled oats

¼ cup pumpkin seeds

¼ cup sunflower seeds

¼ cup sesame seeds

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons honey juice of 1 small orange

½ cup diced dried apple slices

⅓ cup dried blueberries

⅓ cup dried cranberries

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Add the rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds to a 7 × 11-inch roasting pan. Sprinkle with the cinnamon and sugar, then stir together.

2. Drizzle the oil, honey, and orange juice over the top and mix together. Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes and moving the mixture in the corners to the center, because the edges brown more quickly. Try to keep the granola in clumps. Return to the oven and stir every 5–10 minutes, until the granola is an even, golden brown.

3. Sprinkle the dried apple, blueberries, and cranberries over the top and let the granola cool and harden. Serve or spoon into a plastic container or canning jar and store in the refrigerator for up to four days.
