Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups gluten-free quick-cooking oatmeal (not instant), 1 cup mixed nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans, macadamia), 3/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut, 1/2 cup dried cranberries, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a small bowl or small saucepan, warm 4 tablespoons honey and 3 tablespoons coconut oil until the coconut oil is melted and the honey-coconut mixture is pourable.
Pour the honey-coconut mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir and toss until all oats, nuts, coconut, and cranberries are evenly coated.
Spread the coated mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even, single layer. Press down lightly to compact the granola.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, removing the baking sheet every 5 minutes. Each time you remove it, stir the granola and press it back into an even layer so it browns evenly.
When the granola is golden (about 25–30 minutes total), remove the sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet; it will crisp as it cools.
Once cooled, break into clusters if desired and store the granola in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
