Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the almonds, pecans, and walnuts in a food processor. Pulse several times until the nuts are chopped into small, coarse pieces, but not too fine.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, chia seeds, cinnamon, and sea salt.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil with honey and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until smooth and combined.
Pour the coconut oil mixture over the nut and seed mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are 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 baking, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet to allow it to crisp up.
Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and transfer to an airtight container for storage.
