This is a very forgiving recipe.  Feel free to make substitutions depending on what's in your kitchen.

-1/2 c flaxseed (either ground or whole)
-1/4 c chia seeds
-1 c raw nuts like almonds & pecans
-1/4 c unsweetened shredded coconut
-1 c cranberries, fresh or frozen (not dried)
-2 tsp ground cinnamon
-1/2 tsp salt
-3TBS melted coconut oil
-3/4 TBS unsulphured molasses (not blackstrap); can substitute maple syrup
-2tsp pure vanilla extract
-1/4 c dark chocolate chips
-1 large egg white

Steps:
1) Preheat oven to 300 degrees
2) Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

3) Mix together oats, flaxseed, chia seeds, cinnamon, nuts, coconut
4) Add coconut oil, molasses & vanilla extract, combining well
5) Add cranberries & chocolate chips

5) In a small bowl, whisk egg white until it is foamy
6)Carefully add egg white to other ingredients so everything is evenly coated

7) Pour granola on to baking sheet, spread into a single layer
8) Flatten granola with back of spatula
9) Bake for 20 minutes

10) Remove from oven & with a large spatula carefully flip sections of granola over
