Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups slivered almonds
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 0.5 cup sliced almonds
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the slivered almonds, unsweetened coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and sliced almonds. Toss together until well mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, add the honey and coconut oil. Stir occasionally until the coconut oil is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the honey and coconut oil mixture over the almond and seed mix. Stir well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down gently with a spatula to form an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir the granola mixture to ensure even baking.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until the granola is golden brown and aromatic. Be careful not to burn it.
Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crispier as it cools.
Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store in an airtight container. Enjoy as a snack, with yogurt, or as a cereal with your favorite milk.
