Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 egg whites
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the almonds, cashews, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites until they become frothy. Add in the almond butter and vanilla extract, continuing to whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture over the nut and seed mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well-coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the granola is golden and fragrant, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
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 at room temperature for up to two weeks.
