Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond slivers
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons flax seeds
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond butter
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 0.5 cup protein powder (unsweetened or lightly sweetened with stevia)
- 0.5 teaspoon sea 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 almond slivers, pecans, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, chia seeds, flax seeds, cinnamon, and sea salt. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of all the dry ingredients.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and almond butter together until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sweetener of choice, ensuring it's fully dissolved.
Pour the melted mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Stir well until all the nuts and seeds are evenly coated.
Add the protein powder to the bowl and gently fold it into the nut mixture until thoroughly combined.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Press down gently with a spatula to form an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the granola is golden brown, stirring halfway through the baking time for even toasting.
Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the pan on a wire rack. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once completely cooled, break the granola into clusters and store in an airtight container. This granola can be enjoyed on its own or as a topping for yogurt, smoothie bowls, or even salads.
