Ingredients

• 1 cup Almonds
• 1 cup Pecans
• 0.5 cup Walnuts
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened coconut flakes
• 0.25 cup Sunflower seeds
• 0.25 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons Flaxseeds
• 0.5 cup Protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Erythritol or stevia-based sweetener

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a food processor, coarsely chop the almonds, pecans, and walnuts until they are in small bite-sized pieces, but not too fine.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped nuts with coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, protein powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and erythritol or stevia-based sweetener until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the melted coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 6

Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down gently with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and fragrant. Watch closely to avoid burning.

Step 8

Remove from oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will crisp up as it cools.

Step 9

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