- ½ cup coconut flakes
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees.

- 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.
