Ingredients

• 2 cups raw mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews)
• 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
• 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.25 cup chia seeds
• 0.25 cup flaxseeds
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 0.25 cup coconut oil
• 0.3 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, coarsely chop the mixed nuts, leaving some large chunks for texture.

Step 3

Add the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, unsweetened shredded coconut, chia seeds, flaxseeds, cinnamon, and salt to the bowl with the nuts. Stir to combine.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the honey and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly 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 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Once cooled, break it into chunks as desired and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
