Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, flax seeds, and any nuts you desire.
Prepare wet mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the oil, carob powder, cinnamon, sweetener, and salt until well combined.
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl, stirring well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Spread mixture: Spread the mixture evenly onto a lasagna pan or two flat cookie sheets.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top layer is nicely browned. If using cookie sheets, bake for 12-15 minutes.
Flip and bake: Carefully flip the granola with a spatula and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Cool and mix in dried fruit: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. The granola will still be slightly moist but will harden as it cools. Mix in the raisins, dates, and dried cranberries, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent clumping.
Storage: Once completely cooled, store the granola in air-tight containers to maintain its freshness.
Serving suggestion: Serve your homemade Rise ‘n Shine Granola with fresh fruit and your favorite plant-based milk for a wholesome and satisfying breakfast experience!
