Skip the processed boxed aisle and enjoy this golden, homemade cereal that balances the warmth of cinnamon with the richness of maple syrup. It bakes into satisfying crunchy clusters that hold their texture perfectly in cold milk or yogurt.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped pecans, ground cinnamon, and sea salt.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well until every oat is lightly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Press down firmly with the back of a spatula to help create clusters.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Do not stir if you want large chunks.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the pan. The cereal will crisp up significantly as it cools.
Once cool, break into chunks and stir in the dried cranberries. Store in an airtight container.
