Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw almonds
• 1 cup Raw walnuts
• 1 cup Raw pecans
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.25 cup Flax seeds
• 0.25 cup Chia seeds
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Coarsely chop the almonds, walnuts, and pecans using a sharp knife or a food processor. Be careful not to over-process; you want larger pieces for texture.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the chopped nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, flax seeds, chia seeds, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and the mixture is slightly warmed.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly, ensuring all the nuts and seeds are well coated.

Step 6

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down slightly to form an even layer.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Watch closely towards the end to prevent burning.

Step 8

Once the granola is golden brown and fragrant, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will become crisp as it cools.

Step 9

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
