Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 1 cup coconut flakes, unsweetened
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas), raw
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds, raw
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 0.25 cup almond butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup unsweetened apple sauce
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 almonds, pecans, and walnuts. Use a food processor or a sharp knife to roughly chop them into smaller pieces.
Add the chopped nuts back to the bowl along with the coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds. Stir to mix everything together evenly.
Sprinkle the cinnamon, ground ginger, and sea salt over the nut-seed mixture and stir until well combined.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Stir in the almond butter, vanilla extract, and unsweetened apple sauce until smooth and fully blended.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Toss until all the pieces are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
