Ingredients

• 1 cup raw almonds
• 1 cup raw walnut halves
• 0.5 cup raw pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup raw sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a food processor, pulse the raw almonds and walnuts a few times until they are roughly chopped. Do not over-process; we want chunks, not a fine meal.

Step 3

Transfer the chopped nuts to a large mixing bowl and add the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut flakes, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Stir to combine the dry ingredients.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and unsweetened applesauce.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir until everything is evenly coated.

Step 6

Spread the mixture in an even layer onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Once cool, store your Whole30 Gluten-Free Granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
