Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line two baking sheets with non-stick foil or give them a good spray with cooking spray. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, rose water, and a pinch of salt until everything is well combined. In a bigger bowl, mix the oats, rice cereal, coconut, cashews, raisins, dried blueberries, pecans, almonds, dried cranberries, and brown sugar. Pour the maple syrup mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated. Spread the granola mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheets. Pop them in the oven for 20 minutes, then give everything a good stir. Keep baking for another 15 to 25 minutes until the granola turns lightly golden and crisp. Let it cool completely on the sheets—it’ll take about an hour. Once cooled, store your granola in airtight containers to keep it fresh.
