Ingredients

• 1 cup almonds
• 1 cup pecans
• 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
• 0.25 cup chia seeds
• 0.25 cup hemp seeds
• 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.25 cup almond butter
• 0.25 cup coconut oil
• 0.25 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a food processor, pulse the almonds and pecans until they are broken down into small pieces. Be careful not to process them into a fine powder; you still want some texture.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pulsed almonds and pecans with the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, and shredded coconut.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the almond butter, coconut oil, and honey together, stirring continuously until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt.

Step 5

Pour the liquid mixture over the nut and seed mixture, and thoroughly mix until everything is evenly coated.

Step 6

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is lightly golden and fragrant.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet (it will become crunchier as it cools).

Step 9

Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
