- 1 cup pecans unsalted
- 1 cup almonds unsalted
- ½ cup macadamia nuts unsalted
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds unsalted
- ½ cup coconut flakes
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup maple syrup
Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees.
In a food processor blend almonds, pecans, macadamia, coconut, cinnamon, and salt. Pulse until nuts are in small pieces but not powder.
Pour nuts into a large mixing bowl, add in pumpkins seeds, chia seeds, coconut oil, vanilla, and maple syrup. Mix well until combined.
On a parchment-lined baking tray press down granola mixture until flat. You are looking for a ½ inch thickness.
Bake in a 300-degree oven for 35 minutes. Granola should look golden brown.
LET COOL COMPLETELY. This is crucial to the granola's success. Once completely cooled down you can break into clusters.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
MAKE IT NUT FREE: In place of nuts, you can use all different types of seeds. Sunflower, pepita, chia, hemp, flax are all great options.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: This granola is so good on its own. Top smoothie bowls, yogurt parfaits, or chia pudding with this delicious topper.
