Tweaking my Easy Homemade Granola recipe just a little bit, you can create a yummy Gift in a Jar that is perfect for the season. Shoot, what am I talking about? Cranberries and pecans are great during any season. ;)
Cranberry Pecan Granola
4 cups rolled oats
1 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup sunflower nuts
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup coconut oil
3/4 cup honey
In a small sauce pan, melt together coconut oil and honey. Stir all remaining ingredients together in a large bowl. Drizzle on the honey/coconut oil mixture and stir well. Pour mixture onto a large, parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake at 300° for 35 minutes, stirring after the first 20 minutes. Store granola in an air tight container.
This makes 4 pint sized jars of granola, so you can make lots of gifts…or have several servings of granola on hand for busy mornings. :)

This sounds great! Is there anything else you can use in place of coconut oil?
Thanks for sharing this! This one is my favorite so far–it sounds wonderful, and I love the fact that it’s good to go when you give it to someone.
is this unsweetened dried cranberries?
What about a cherry almond combo? Mmmmm!
Man! I’m trying to make baskets for family and friends, with a few different “gift in a jar items in each. But you and that ebook are making it impossible to choose!
Oh this sounds fabulous. I am adding to my pin board! Thank you so much for sharing. God bless!
