Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Add the oats, pistachios, and coconut to a large, heat-proof mixing bowl.
3 cups rolled oats, 1 cup pistachios, 1 cup ribbon or large flake coconut
In a small pot over medium-high heat, mix the honey, coconut oil, cardamom, ginger, and sea salt. Once it starts to boil, remove the pot from the heat and pour the liquid over the oats.
½ cup honey, 2 tablespoons coconut oil, ½ teaspoon ground cardamom, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon sea salt
Mix the oats well the spread them out in an even layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through. Take the granola out of the oven when it is light golden brown. It will crisp once it cools.
Let the granola cool for 5 minutes then gently stir in the cranberries and white chocolate. The chocolate will melt slightly (as long as you don't mix it too much) and adhere to the granola. Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet.
