Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 1/2 cups slivered almonds unsalted
- 1 cup pecans raw
- 1 cup walnuts raw
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds unsalted
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar or sub cane sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp almond butter
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300° and spray a large baking sheet with nonstick spray, or line with parchment paper; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut, almonds, pecans, walnuts, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the maple syrup, coconut oil and nut butter to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second increments until the oil has melted; whisk to combine.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry, then stir until the nut mixture is coated. Pour the mixture out onto the prepared baking sheet, place it in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the granola is slightly golden on top. NOTE: if you're adding the cranberries (or other mix-ins), add them in within the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely, which will allow it to harden and become the appropriate texture. Enjoy!
