Cranberry Vanilla Granola
When Chelsea Peachtree reached out to us to create a cranberry recipe with our frozen cranberries and she mentioned a granoal recipe we jumped on it! We LOVE granola but so many recipes called for dried cranberries and we of course wanted a recipe with our frozen cranberries and Chelsea did just that! With no added sugar Chelsea slighty deydrated our frozen cranberries to create a still a bit juicy cranberry for the granola to add a burst of flavor. The Cranberry Vanilla Granola is a great snack on its own but so tasty over yogurt or baked fruit too!

Directions
- Place frozen cranberries directly on a baking sheet and bake at 150 degrees F for 6 hours to slightly dehydrate them (they will still be juicy).
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F
- Place oats, almonds and sunflower seeds in a mixing bowl and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the cinnamon, salt, all spice, vanilla, coconut oil, maple syrup and brown sugar.
- Pour over the oat and nut mixture and mix until the dry ingredients are well coated.
- Place parchment paper on a baking sheet and pour the granola mixture onto the parchment paper, spreading it out so it is a thin layer.
- Place in the oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool completely. Mix in chocolate chips and semi-dried cranberries. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
