Preheat the oven to 170 C. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
Mix all the dry ingredients - rolled oats, nuts, seeds, cinnamon powder, in a large bowl.
Lightly heat honey and coconut oil in a small saucepan. Take it off the heat and add the vanilla extract.
Pour this over your dry ingredients, mix well. The mixture should have the consistency of wet sand. Spread this mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake, stirring every 10-15 mins, for about 40-45 mins. The granola should be fragrant, look all golden and toasty. Once you’ve taken the tray out of the oven, stir in the dates and cranberries. Let it cool completely.
Store in an airtight container. Serve with milk or yogurt. Enjoy!
