Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Coarsely chop the raw almonds and pecans. You can use a knife or a food processor, just make sure to pulse them so they don't become too fine.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped almonds and pecans with the shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds. Stir well to mix.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt together the coconut oil and honey, stirring occasionally until fully combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Sprinkle in the cinnamon and salt. Stir thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down lightly with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
Bake the granola in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through the baking time. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning, especially around the edges.
Once golden brown and fragrant, remove the granola from the oven. Allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet; it will crisp up as it cools.
After cooling, break the granola into clusters and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
