Making CrunchMax Super Granola at home is straightforward and requires minimal effort. Follow these steps to create a batch of deliciously crunchy granola:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Combine the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, sliced almonds, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Combine the mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix until the oats and almonds are thoroughly coated with the syrup mixture.
5. Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring it’s in a single layer for even baking.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking. The granola should be golden brown and fragrant.
7. Add the dried cranberries: Once out of the oven, mix in the dried cranberries while the granola is still warm.
8. Let it cool: Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crispier as it cools.
9. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks, ensuring freshness and crunch.
