Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw almonds
• 1 cup Raw walnuts
• 1 cup Pumpkin seeds
• 1 cup Sunflower seeds
• 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened apple sauce
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, and chia seeds. Stir well to ensure an even mix.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, honey, apple sauce, and salt until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl, stirring thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are well coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once cool, transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a snack, or as a topping for yogurt or smoothie bowls.
