I love granola, and I love maple anything. Tonight, I was trying to rest and recover from the bad sore throat/cold that has me down this week, but after a whole day of being in bed and another night today of just sitting around, I was itching to do something. I've missed granola since going gluten-free, and so tonight I just threw this together as an experiment. It turned out to be very tasty, although next time I would probably bake mine for a little less time. (Mine was in the oven for about 37 minutes and turned out to be rather crispy, and I probably could have taken it out after 30.) Feel free to throw any other types of dried fruit, seeds, or nuts, as this is completely versatile and can be adapted to your own taste. You could also substitute honey for the maple syrup if you prefer. Maple Cranberry Granola
1 cup gluten-free oats or soy flakes
1/2 cup organic unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup cranberries, raisins, or a combination of both
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 tsp. canola oil
1/4 cup very hot water
1 tsp. gluten-free vanilla
Preheat oven to 300 F. Place a sheet of wax paper on a baking pan (preferably one with sides). Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the maple syrup, oil, water, and vanilla, and stir to mix. Pour over the dry mixture and toss to coat thoroughly. Spread evenly into the pan. Bake for 15 minutes, then stir the granola around, and bake in 5 minute increments until the desired crispness is reached. Cool, and then store refrigerated for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container. Keep it in the fridge and it will last even longer.

Wow, your Maple Cranberry Granola recipe sounds absolutely delicious! I can understand your excitement about combining the flavors of maple and cranberry in a homemade gluten-free granola. It's great that you took the initiative to create this recipe while recovering from a cold. Last time, I also tried a similar recipe, but unfortunately, I ended up with food poisoning and had to seek cheap assignment help from New Zealand experts. I hope this recipe doesn't cause any such issues and that you enjoy it without any complications.
Oh, this Maple Cranberry Granola recipe looks absolutely delicious! I love how the sweetness of maple syrup complements the tartness of cranberries.
