Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews)
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup chia seeds
- 0.25 cup flaxseeds
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 0.3 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, coarsely chop the mixed nuts, leaving some large chunks for texture.
Add the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, unsweetened shredded coconut, chia seeds, flaxseeds, cinnamon, and salt to the bowl with the nuts. Stir to combine.
In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the honey and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove from oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will become crisp as it cools.
Once cooled, break it into chunks as desired and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
