Instructions
Preheat oven to 300. Prepare a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Place the walnuts, cashews, and pepitas in the bowl of a food processor or powerful blender.
Pulse to chop into smaller pieces (you don’t want them to get too small).
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg white and water until frothy.
Add the oil, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.
Stir in the chopped nut mix and the shredded coconut. Mix well.
Pour onto a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and press out to about 1/4 inch.
Bake at 300° for 30-40 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes.
Turn off the oven and let some of the heat out of the oven. Then put the granola back in the oven and check on it every 10 minutes or so until it is lightly browned.
Take it out and let it cool completely before breaking into clusters and adding the cranberries. Store in a large jar, tupperware, or ziplock bag in the fridge.
