Ingredients

• 1 cup raw almonds
• 1 cup raw pecans
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 0.5 cup raw sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 cup extra-virgin coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 egg whites

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a food processor, pulse the almonds and pecans a few times until they are coarsely chopped. You want a mix of larger pieces and finer crumbs.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped almonds, pecans, coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir well to mix all the dry ingredients together.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Allow this mixture to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Pour the melted coconut oil and vanilla mixture into the egg whites and mix to combine.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until everything is well coated.

Step 7

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Ensure it is in a single layer for even baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and crisp.

Step 9

Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will continue to crisp up as it cools.

Step 10

Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store it in an airtight container. Keep at room temperature for up to a week.
