Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 0.25 cup chia seeds
- 0.25 cup ground flaxseed
- 0.5 cup honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, mixed nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut flakes, chia seeds, and ground flaxseed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until all dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, it will become crispy.
Once cooled, transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Serve the granola with yogurt, milk, or as a snack on its own.
